Charter

The current purpose of this work group is to define and publish Standard Names for unstructured responses to RETS requests and to provide XML Schemas for instance documents that contain MLS information. Data is the heart of the standard and this workgroup has been one of the most active in recent months and promises to continue to be so in the coming months.
