Streaming-Archival InkML Conversion

Ink markup language (InkML) provides a platform-neutral data format that can be used to represent, store and transmit digital ink data. Both streaming and archival applications are supported through different uses of InkML's primitives. While streaming ink and archival ink data can represent the same information, each supports certain operations more directly. Indeed, certain applications can benefit from access to both representations of the same digital ink data. In this paper we present an efficient method to convert archival style InkML to streaming style and vice-versa.
