---+ SAMP

This page contains information about SAMP, the Simple Application Messaging Protocol.


---++ Standard
SAMP is defined by the [[http://www.ivoa.net/Documents/latest/SAMP.html][SAMP Standard]].  The most recent version to achieve IVOA Recommendation status is Version 1.2, dated 16 December 2010.  Currently (late 2011) Version 1.3 is under discussion; this adds the Web Profile to facilitate messaging by web appolications. Some information about the discussions leading to its current form and possible future developments can be found at SampDoc.

---++ MTypes
An MType is a short string which defines the semantics of a given SAMP message. A few administrative MTypes are defined in the SAMP document.
A list of MTypes in use in applications, along with procedures for extending it, can be found at SampMTypes.

---++ Proposed well-known keys (x-samp)
Keys in SAMP extensible vocabularies which are proposed for introduction as well-known keys in future versions of the standard may be listed at SampXSamp.

---++ Software
Software which uses the SAMP protocol is listed at SampSoftware.

---++ Further Discussion
Discussions concerning development of the protocol, suggestions for new MTypes, and anything else SAMP-related, take place on the apps-samp@ivoa.net mailing list (see also the [[http://www.ivoa.net/pipermail/apps-samp/][list archive]]). Queries and requests for help from application developers or users who would like to adopt or find out more about SAMP are very welcome.
