== MealMaster ==

[http://home.comcast.net/~episoft/ MealMaster]

MealMaster is a piece of database software for collecting recipes. Allows searching, printing and creating of shopping lists as some of it's key features. The software allows import and export of recipes.

Have located some publishings of people's recipes in "Meal-Master format".
e.g. http://www.garvick.com/recipes/meal-master.htm

==Recipe Markup Language==
It was (formerly known as DESSERT -- Document Encoding and Structuring Specification for Electronic Recipe Transfer) is an [[XML]]-based format for marking up [[recipe]]s. The format was created in [[2000]] by the company FormatData.

[http://www.formatdata.com/recipeml/spec/recipeml-spec.html Specification]

The format provides detailed markup for defining ingredients, which facilitates automated conversions from one type of [[unit of measurement|measurement]] to another. The markup language also provides for step-based instructions. [[Metadata]] can be added to a RecipeML document through the [[Dublin Core]].

There are some software programs that read and write the RecipeML format. The most notable of these is [http://www.recipewebservice.com/largorecipes/ Largo Recipes]. The RecipeML [http://www.formatdata.com/recipeml/license.html license] is fairly open.

[http://dsquirrel.tripod.com/recipeml/indexrecipes2.html This archive] contains 10,000 recipes in Recipe Markup Language

== RxOL ==
[http://www.anthus.com/Recipes/CompCook.html RxOL] uses a postfix notation to represent recipes.

On the website [http://www.cookingforengineers.com/recipe/26/Simple-Tiramisu Cooking For Engineers] you can see a beautiful graphical representation of a recipe tree which could be constructed from the RxOL tree or one could easily code the Microformat in the form of the tree mentioned in that site. You need to scroll down to the bottom of the main article just above the comments section.

== REML: The Recipe Exchange Markup Language ==
[http://reml.sourceforge.net/ REML on Sourceforge]

REML is an XML schema that describes a file format for recipe exchange.
On the sourceforge page Gary says:
I might have developed against an existing markup languages, but RecipeML is mired in licensing problems, and CookML is written in German. And I had my own ideas about recipe exchange that could better support commercial uses, such as the development of restaurant menus and cookbooks. In any case, this is a viable XML-based format for exchanging food recipes, developed from scratch by Gary Gocek. If you have suggestions, please contact Gary.

==RecipeBook XML==
From [http://www.happy-monkey.net/recipebook/ RecipeBook XML]
RecipeBook XML is a markup language used to write recipes and cookbooks. It is simple and easy to learn, but offers some powerful features. Once a recipe is written in RecipeBook XML it can be reproduced in HTML, PDF, Rich Text formats all from the same source document.

The primary goal of RecipeBook XML is to allow people to create, store and share recipes in a variety of electronic formats. Consideration is also given to computer manipulation of the data contained within the recipes. More details are given below. Uses creative common's licence
