Hi Hyeuk,
Although both XML and CSV have their relative merits, many users of the OpenQuake risk calculators have repeatedly indicated that they find CSV to be a more friendly format for use in spreadsheet and GIS applications. Thus, over the next few months we are planning to provide outputs also in CSV format wherever it makes sense. Meanwhile, the existing XML output formats will continue to be supported by the parsing and plotting tools in the RMTK.
Here we have some templates for the new CSV formats for outputs from the scenario damage and risk calculators:
Please feel free to provide suggestions / comments on the proposed formats at the above links.
Thank you!
