CCA Specification

CCA specifications are written in the Scientific Interface Definition Language (SIDL) which is the input language to Babel.

An archive of older CCA specifications is available here.

Process

A new, multi-stage specification process was approved in 2007 by Motion53 on Quorum. Implementation started in early
2008. The three main elements of this change are:

1. Multi-stage standardization process
2. Task Forces with clearly defined charter and chair to shepherd changes through the process.
3. CCA Review Board ( CCARB ): to oversee task forces.
