Originally an [Acronym] for __E__uropean __C__omputer __M__anufacturers __A__ssociation, an industry association dedicated to the standardization of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) Systems.

Interesting standards published by [ECMA] include [ECMAScript | JavaScript], OOXML and [C#].

[ECMA] was founded in 1961 and changed name to [Ecma International | http://www.ecma-international.org] in 1994 because their focus had expanded beyond Europe. According to their website, their aims are:

* To develop, in co-operation with the appropriate National, European and International organizations Standards and Technical Reports in order to facilitate and standardize the use of ICT systems.
* To encourage the correct use of Standards by influencing the environment in which they are applied.
* To publish these Standards and Technical Reports in electronic and printed form; the publications can be freely copied by all interested parties without restrictions.
