in association with 
Standard Data Format Test
Standard data format specifications supported by VetXML Consortium members.
The information below details the services and members that support the VetXML standard data format, as well as marketing guidance and various specification schemas.
Standard Communication Protocol Specification.
The following API (Application Programming Interface) has been developed by VetEnvoy (LiveTime 24/7) and made available freely to the VetXML Consortium as a proposed open standard communication protocol for the transfer of VetXML data (and associated surrounding workflow processes). Please note, it is the actual techniques, workflows and protocols of the standard on which VetEnvoy operates that has been made open and not the underlying source code of VetEnvoy itself.
Application Programming Interface v1.50
