The ToolTalk Standard Message Sets

Standard message sets help developers to develop applications that will automatically integrate with applications developed by others that follow the same message protocols. Extensive work has been done with leading software suppliers and end-users to define standard message sets. The ToolTalk Standard Message Sets are higher-level interfaces of the ToolTalk API that provide common definitions and conventions to easily achieve control and data integration between applications.

See the ToolTalk Reference Guide for a complete description of the standard ToolTalk message sets.
