Abstract: CAAML Version 6 for EAWS bulletins is a standardized data format designed to describe avalanche bulletins, providing a common language for conveying crucial information about snowpack conditions, avalanche activity, and hazards. Developed through collaborative efforts by international organizations and experts, CAAML Version 6 facilitates seamless data exchange, enhances data accuracy, and promotes effective decision-making in avalanche risk management. This paper offers a comprehensive overview of the format, discussing its fundamental principles, structure, and implementation guidelines. The support for both XML and JSON data formats, along with data validation guidelines and extensibility, ensures CAAML Version 6 remains relevant and adaptable to advances in avalanche science and information technology.
