I’m trying to put together a set of existing XML formats used to model repositories. Most systems will have a simple “Export to XML” feature. I’m interested in any CMS. The list below is just a random list that I plan to generate myself unless someone beats me to it. I only want CMS products that have a Content Type modeller. Things like WordPress and Drupal probably not too relevant.

I’m not too interested in the actual APIs or functions around the XML, or whether it is the native repository format or an export. I’m interested in the kind of data modelled by the system, and how different pieces are named.

Please email me (jonDOTmarksATlbiDOTcom) if you have some examples.

For now, I’d like just a simple content type, and a simple piece of content of that type. Having an example in more than one language is a bonus.
