ACAML, Agilent Common Analytical Markup Language, is a markup language to capture and describe analytical data in the chromatography and spectrometry domain. ACAML is designed to describe all data types in analytical environments. ACAML is focused on providing an Agilent common standard that allows to seamlessly exchange information between various platforms and applications.
The approach is to define a technique- and application-independent unified schema-language. ACAML can be used to describe analytical data in a generic way, without any special aspects (e.g. result-centric viewpoint): starting from a single instrument or method up to a complex scenario with multiple instruments, methods, users and hundreds or thousands of samples.
No additional applications (like a special ACAML-validator) are required to handle and validate ACAML instance-documents.
