Chapter 20 ToolTalk Message Sets

Standard message sets help developers to develop applications that will automatically integrate with applications developed by others that follow the same message protocols. Extensive work has been done with leading software suppliers and end-users to define standard message sets. The ToolTalk Standard Message Sets (comprised of the ToolTalk Desktop Services Message Set and the ToolTalk Document and Media Exchange Message Set) are higher-level interfaces of the ToolTalk application programming interface (API) that provide common definitions and conventions to easily achieve control and data integration between applications.
