ACORD

ACORD is the insurance industry’s data standards body and the author of the formats that have moved insurance data since the 1970s — AL3 flat files, ACORD XML, and the newer ACORD Data Standards and NGDS programme. Inside the industry the standards are genuinely load-bearing. As machine-readable interfaces available to anyone outside it, they are close to invisible.
