MGraph - Funny name... what's that?

In the past months the Microsoft "Oslo" initiative has been discussed in several blogs.

Microsoft "Oslo" is not related with the norwegian capital city, it is a group of tools and specifications that aim to ease the software development. Microsoft is focused on modeling and in how the proper tools and specification can participate in the several parts of the software lifecycle.

Part of the "Oslo" initiative is the M language, basically M has 3 subsets, MSchema, MGramar and MGraph.

MGraph is a specification (one should not call it a language) that allows to store data in a structured manner. The ones that are familiar with JSON, will find MGraph very similar to it.

Lars Corneliussen, had published a blog post that talks about MGraph and compares it with plain XML and also with JSON. It worth's reading, and you can reach it here
