NewsML-G2 is an XML multimedia news exchange standard of the IPTC, the International Press Telecommunications Council.
As part of the IPTC G2-standards family, NewsML-G2 acts as an envelope for one or more news items (such as a text article, a photo, or a video clip) or links to news items, and contains metadata to describe the relationships between the items. NewsML-G2 is a business-to-business standard that is intended to help news agencies create complex packages of multimedia news into a single cohesive bundle.
Unlike its predecessor, NewsML, NewsML-G2 uses standardized XML building blocks and metadata. These building blocks are used in other IPTC G2 standards, so that system programmers can reuse their code.
Like NewsML, NewsML-G2 is not a text or image format; it has no way to mark paragraphs or headlines, for example. Instead, it is an envelope and organizer for one or more files of almost any type. For text formatting, IPTC recommends the News Industry Text Format (NITF).
