SIMpml (SIM Profile Mark Up Language) Specification V2
This document specifies the requirements to implement a unified XML schema for SIM cards prototyping and testing: the SIM Profile Mark-Up Language (SIMpml).
It has been defined to simplify the transfer of card profile configuration information and the approval of test and production cards, with the intention of replacing the existing various text-based documents. It is firmly believed by this forum that this approach will reduce the failure rates, decrease test loops and minimise human interactions, since XML is a common used way of transferring structured data.
This format allows any Card Vendor or Network Operator to specify and implement any SIM card electrical profile, since it strongly relies on Smart Card Specifications such as 3GPP, GSMA and SIMalliance.
The document is based on the UXP 1.4 (U)SIM XML Profile (UXP) Template Sheet, the output of an initiative created by a dedicated forum set up in 2007 under the initiative of Telefónica O2 UK. This forum comprises Gemalto, Giesecke & Devrient, Oberthur Technologies, SanDisk and Telefónica O2 UK.
