ASAM  e.V. (Association for Standardisation of Automation and Measuring Systems)
ASAM provides standards for data models, interfaces and syntax specifications for a variety of applications (e.g. testing, evaluaton, simulation).

ASAM working groups were established by the German Automotive Manufacturers in the 90s. In order to drive standards development and implementation ASAM e.V. was founded in December 1998 as successor organization for this initiative. 33 companies joined the ASAM e.V. (registriered association) on its foundation. As a legal body, the association undertakes both the representation of the standards and their further development.
ASAM-Standards:

ASAM-ODS (Open Data Services) defines a generic model (for universal of data), interfaces (for model management, data storage and data retrieval) and a data exchange syntax and format.
ASAM-MCD (Measurement, Calibration and Diagnostics) defines interfaces for the description and integretion of control systems.
ASAM-GDI (Generic Device Interface) defines interfaces to measuring devices and intelligent subsystems as well as a syntax for a generic description of their capabilities.
ASAM-ACI (Automatic Calibration Interface) defines interfaces between automation and optimization components, which evaluate an optimized set of parameters for control systems.
ASAM-CEA (Components for Evaluation and Analysis) defines a component interface and the necessary basic funktionality for the creation of project-specific overall applications from modular measured data evalution and analysis tools.
ASAM-ULI (Upper Level Interfaces) defines common standards for interfaces to applications
