ARTS XML Schemas:

ARTS XML Schemas are standard message sets built on the ARTS Operational Data Model to allow integration of applications in a retail setting. This allows retailers to add new applications to their existing infrastructure and by extension, allow them to offer new or better services to their customers in the form of loyalty programs, inventory searching and price look ups, to name just a few.

There are typically three different items in the zip file for each standard - charter (scope), XML Schema and technical documentation - plus a domain model where available.
