EPC Tag Data Translation (TDT) Standard
This EPC Tag Data Translation standard is concerned with a machine-readable version of the EPC Tag Data Standards specification. The machine-readable version can be readily used for validating EPC formats as well as translating between the different levels of representation in a consistent way. This specification describes how to interpret the machine-readable version. It contains details of the structure and elements of the machine-readable markup files and provides guidance on how it might be used in automatic translation or validation software, whether standalone or embedded in other systems.
Version 1.6 of the TDT specification is fully compatible with TDS Version 1.6
