Remove link to other logic road description (otherwise we have to list them all) -> suggestion: add links in a higher-level wikipedia entry i.e. Road description definition

'''OpenDRIVE''' is an open format specification to describe a road network's logic. Its objective is to standardize the logical road description in order to facilitate the data exchange between different driving simulators.
 
The initial release of OpenDRIVE was version 0.7 in 2005, as of August 2010 the current release is version 1.3.<ref>{{Citation

==Overview==
Line 46 ⟶ 47:
OpenDRIVE is managed by VIRES Simulationstechnologie GmbH and the OpenDRIVE community. The OpenDRIVE standard is reviewed and released by a core team of driving simulation experts. With the publication in 2006 members of [[BMW]] Forschung und Technik GmbH, [[Daimler AG]], [[DLR]] e.V., [[Fraunhofer Society|Fraunhofer-Institut]] IVI, [[Krauss-Maffei]] Wegmann GmbH & Co. KG, [[Rheinmetal]] Defence Electronics GmbH and VIRES Simulationstechnologie GmbH joined the initiative. The associated website maintained by VIRES GmbH is intended to be the focal point for all activities involving OpenDRIVE.
 
Considering applications with a demand to road surface description, OpenDRIVE refers to special data structures holding these surface data. [[OpenCRG]] the microscopic brother is available taking care of the provision and evaluation of road surface descriptions. An implementation of OpenCRG into the OpenDRIVE file format specification has already been established in January 2008.<ref>{{Cite news

=== Founders ===
The OpenDRIVE initiative was started in 2005 by [[Daimler]] Driving Simulator, Stuttgart and VIRES Simulationstechnologie GmbH. With the publication of the initiative in 2006, other companies joined in so that OpenDRIVE is now being maintained by an international board.
 
===Core Team===
The OpenDRIVE® standard is reviewed and released by a core team of driving simulation experts. The team members as of January 2010 are (alphabetical order by company):
* Martin Strobl / BMW Forschung und Technik GmbH
* Hans Grezlikowski / Daimler AG, Germany
Line 75 ⟶ 77:
 
==Features==
The OpenDRIVE® file format provides the following features:
* XML format
* hierarchical structure
Line 87 ⟶ 89:
* road surface properties
* road and road-side objects
* user-defineabledefinable data beads
* etc.
 
==Tools==
The evaluation of the logics data can be simplified by using a library which can be linked to various applications and serves as the standard interface between the OpenDRIVE data contained in the XML files and the evaluation of the road data within the application. Tools for OpenDRIVE which are available via the website of VIRES Simulationstechnologie GmbH or linked sites of partners include:
