1. ATML
ATML’s mission is to define a collection of XML-based schemas and services that allows ATE and test information to be exchanged in a common format adhering to the XML standard
ATML defines a framework through which different architectures using XML can be implemented.
defines the components from which users can build their architectures, whilst being interoperable with other compliant architectures.
defines the format of the net centric services by which this information can be exchanged across different ATS platforms as part of a maintenance process
defines the XML format that these elements will take.
The ATML specifications will define:
How to define XML schemas that represent ATE and test information
A set of XML schemas supporting the exchange of specific ATE and test information
How to define services that can be used for exchanging ATE and test information in a distributed net-centric environment.
A set of services supporting the exchange of specific ATE and test information in a distributed net-centric environment

3. SCC20 & ATML Organisations
The IEEE SCC20 is the standards organisation through which the ATML components will be published under various IEEE standards.
The ATML organisation is an open, independent focus group contributed to by the ATE industry and government agencies to advance the common exchange of test information through the use of XML.
The ATML group provides draft documents and schemas, examples, use cases, requirements and trials any ATML components
Their findings are submitted to the various SCC20 sub-committees and working groups to advance the IEEE standards associated with the ATML components
ATML organisation prepares documents for ballot and submits draft standards into IEEE SCC20

5. SCC-20 ATML PARs Status
Project Authorisation Request (PAR) need to be approved by the IEEE NESCOM prior to any SCC-20 working group being established.
