We define a universal data interchange format to enable exchange of rich social network data and improve compatibility of analysis and visualization tools. DyNetML is an XML-derived language that provides means to express rich social network data. DyNetML also provides an extensible facility for link- ing anthropological, process description and other data with social networks. DyNetML has been implemented and in use by the CASOS group at Carnegie Mellon University as a data interchange format. We have also implemented parsing and conversion software for interoperability with other software packages.
