ECCMA

Formed in April 1999; the Electronic Commerce Code Management Association has brought together thousands of experts from around the world and provides them a means of working together in the fair, open and extremely fast environment of the Internet to build and maintain the global, open standard dictionaries that are used to unambiguously label information. The existence of these dictionaries of labels allows information to be passed from one computer system to another with out losing meaning. For more information please visit http://www.eccma.org

eOTD

eOTD is an acronym for ECCMA Open Technical Dictionary. eOTD has also been used as an acronym for electronic Open Technical Dictionary. eOTD is the key facilitator in the delivery of unambiguous product and service descriptions. eOTD utilizes public domain concept identifiers attached to each word or term that makes up a product or service description. These concept identifiers, once assigned, can be used to transmit the product or service data to any entity ready to accept it, and in turn render the description exactly as it was sent, without human intervention. The eOTD is maintained by ECCMA and it’s member organizations. http://eccma.org/AboutUs.php
