ECML v1.1: Field Specifications for E-Commerce
RFC 3106, “ECML v1.1: Field Specifications for E-Commerce”, is an Informational document published in April 2001 by D. Eastlake 3rd, T. Goldstein. It obsoletes RFC 2706. It has since been updated by RFC 4112. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
Customers are frequently required to enter substantial amounts of information at an Internet merchant site in order to complete a purchase or other transaction, especially the first time they go there. A standard set of information fields is defined as the first version of an Electronic Commerce Modeling Language (ECML) so that this task can be more easily automated, for example by wallet software that could fill in fields. Even for the manual data entry case, customers will be less confused by varying merchant sites if a substantial number adopt these standard fields. In addition, some fields are defined for merchant to consumer communication. This memo provides information for the Internet community.
