OccurrencesAcronym ExpansionxNAL Name and Address Standard DescriptionWith the advent of XML as a defacto standard for representing data, OASIS has developed an application independent XML standard for name and address data management xNAL. xNAL does not include all the address components throughout the world. But that is where the power of XML comes into play. It is extensively scalable and extendable allowing xNAL to evolve as more additional components are identified. xNAL is broken into two components namely: xNL and xAL.
