SAMP Progress
RFC Discussion
Discussions of the Simple Applications Messaging Protocol mostly take place on the
apps-samp mailing list.
This page may contain additional information.
SAMP Document
The most recent public release of the SAMP document is available at the IVOA
Documents Page. 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 tentative list of MTypes in use in applications can be found at
SampMTypes. This may be formalised into an IVOA Note at some point.
