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 without losing meaning.
The eOTD was developed to allow ECCMA members to improve the quality of their Master Data and their descriptions. It also serves as a common mapping table between classifications. The dictionary includes classes (also known as item names or noun qualifiers) and properties (also known as attributes or characteristics) as well as units of measures, currencies and controlled values (days of the week for example). If you search the eOTD you will see a lot of duplication and this is because the eOTD collects together terminology from many standards and industry consortia.
