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.
