The Electronic Commerce Code Management Association (ECCMA), is a member based, international not-for-profit association comm ... itted to improving data quality through the implementation of international standards. ECCMA is the current project leader for the development of ISO 8000 and ISO 22745, which are the international standards for data quality and the exchange of material and service master data. ECCMA provides a platform for collaboration amongst subject experts on data quality and data governance around the world to build and maintain 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. ECCMA was established in April 1999 at the behest of the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) to merge the Dun and Bradstreet Standard Product and Services Classification (SPSC) with the United Nations Common Coding System (UNCCS). read more
