GEDCOM to DAML

Home | About DAML | Announcements | Roadmap | Site Search

GEDCOM is the de facto standard for exchanging genealogical data. ged2daml is a program for converting selected GEDCOM information into DAML.

A good freeware program capable of creating, reading, modifying, and writing GEDCOM is Personal Ancestral File (PAF), downloadable via the Order/Download Products link here.

Generated DAML can be viewed using DAML Viewer.

ged2daml was initially developed for DAML Homework Assignment 3. Lessons learned and other information is available here.

Example

royal92.ged is a public domain GEDCOM file containing information on 3010 individuals and 1422 families of European royalty. royal92.daml was produced using ged2daml. (royal92.owl)
