https://collada.org/public_forum/"The COLLADA Schema supports all the features that modern 3D interactive applications need. Its feature set is expanding to incorporate technologies such as programmable shader effects and real-time physics. It can also be easily extended by the end users for their own specific purposes. In other words, COLLADA is not designed to be a temporary data transport mechanism, but rather to be the schema for the source data for Digital Assets. It is not designed as a delivery mechanism, but to be a content holder for any target platform. COLLADA's choice of language is XML, thus using many of the benefits of the eXtensible Markup Language including native support of international UTF-8 encoding. The COLLADA XML Schema document is publically acccessible on the Internet for online content validation."
