GraphML
GraphML is an XML-based file format for graphs. The GraphML file format results from the joint effort of the graph drawing community to define a common format for exchanging graph structure data. It u
DGML
Directed Graph Markup Language (DGML) is an XML-based file format for directed graphs.
XGMML
XGMML (the eXtensible Graph Markup and Modeling Language) is an XML application based on GML which is used for graph description. Technically, while GML is not related to XML nor SGML, XGMML is an XML
Trivial Graph Format
Trivial Graph Format (TGF) is a simple text-based adjacency list file format for describing graphs, widely used because of its simplicity.
LCF notation
In the mathematical field of graph theory, LCF notation or LCF code is a notation devised by Joshua Lederberg, and extended by H. S. M. Coxeter and Robert Frucht, for the representation of cubic graph
