The vision of the ECIX project is to create a seamless flow of information between component suppliers and consumers.
ECIX includes three specifications:
- Pinnacles Component Information Standard (PCIS) -- an interchange standard for datasheet information in both human and machine readable form
- Component Information Dictionary Standard (CIDS)-- a specification for the SGML representation of dictionary information including standard dictionaries (IEC, JEDEC, etc.), supplier dictionaries, etc.
- TDML -- an interchange specification for timing diagrams
