    The NAACCR Data Exchange Standard, XML Specifications for Cancer Registry Records has been updated to version 1.5 (July 2021) on the NAACCR website: 

    Changes since version 1.4 include:
    - Making the "specificationVersion" attribute required in both dictionaries and data files
    - Adding a new "dateLastModified" attribute to XML dictionaries that will help consumers and producers of NAACCR XML determine if they are using the latest release of an XML dictionary.
    - Further clarification in the specifications document that Default user-defined dictionaries are only applicable for NAACCR v21 and prior.


    Questions and comments about the NAACCR XML Data Exchange Standard can be directed to the co-chairs, Isaac Hands (isaac.hands@uky.edu) and Valerie Yoder (valerie.yoder@hsc.utah.edu), or the NAACCR forums:
