The DCML Interest Group is an open, independent, vendor neutral,
non-profit corporation formed to create an open, freely licensed specification,
Data Center Markup Language (DCML), and to encourage its broad adoption. DCML provides a structured model and encoding to
describe, construct, replicate, and recover data center environments and
elements. DCML is designed to provide a mechanism to enable data center automation,
utility computing and system management solutions to exchange information about the environment to make utility
computing a reality. In addition to developing specifications, the organization intends to work with formal standards
bodies, enable and administer certification and compliance programs, and perform user and market
education.
