DIGGSML is an XML-based schema designed for transfer of geotechnical and geoenvironmental data between different organizations. In 2013, the ASCE Geo-Institute was awarded a 2-year contract by the Ohio DOT to implement DIGGS. The current version, 2.0a, is undergoing pilot testing through early 2016.
