Energistics Packaging Conventions (EPC) v1.0

Energistics Packaging Conventions (EPC) is a file packaging convention based on the Open Packaging Conventions (OPC), a widely used container-file technology that allows multiple types of files to be bundled together into a single package. Built on the widely used ZIP file structure and originally created by Microsoft, OPC is now an open standard supported by two standards organizations.
