---+ SAMP

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


---++ Standard
The most recent public release of the SAMP standard document is available at the IVOA [[http://www.ivoa.net/Documents/latest/SAMP.html][Documents Page]].  The [[http://www.ivoa.net/cgi-bin/twiki/bin/view/IVOA/SampRfcDiscussionV11][RFC Page]] lists comments and responses concerning the current progress towards RECOMMENDATION status.  Versions in progress for discussion may be found at SampDoc.

---++ MTypes
An MType is the name for 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.

---++ 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 [[http://www.ivoa.net/forum/apps-samp/][apps-samp]] mailing list. Queries and requests for help from application developers or users who would like to adopt or find out more about SAMP are very welcome.
