ECMA was founded in 1961 to standardise computer systems in Europe. Membership is open to companies that produce, market or develop computer or communication systems in Europe. Ecma International is currently responsible for several standards, including the following:
Although Sun Microsystems submitted its Java Programming Language to ECMA, Sun subsequently withdrew the submission. Thus, ECMA is not responsible for the standardization of Java. Ecma has also been given the responsibility of steering the first international standards for Holographic Versatile Disc s, a next-generation high density storage medium capable of holding hundreds of Gigabyte s through to severall Terabyte s on a CD -sized disk. Ecma expects to submit a proposed standard to the International Organization For Standardization for ISO approval, around December 2006. {Link without Title} SEE ALSO ISO EXTERNAL LINKS |
