OpenQualia is an industry group focused on improving digitization quality control through *cooperation* and *incubating standards* for international adoption. OpenQualia works to standardize the workflows and data formats of digitization tools including software for capture, color profiling, image quality analysis, and quality assurance. OpenQualia-compatible tools simplify digitization and help the user achieve higher quality.

*Currently* the group has published three related standards to make custom target measurements (measurements of a specific serial number of target rather than a generic average of that kind of target) easier to use:

- [OpenQualia Label Standard](docId\:ChKwOoxvm5rOsnvRNEvRx) - Specifying a QR Code or DataMatrix that encodes a URL similar to the one below, pointing to a publicly accessible measurement file.
- [OpenQualia Label Host Standard](docId\:KHirZcqK12ygAYf_D7wcW)  - Specifying the behavior of the host of such URLs in serving the measurement file to compliant software and a human-friendly website to individuals scanning the label with their phone.
- [OpenQualia Measurement File Standard](docId\:RldB9v83ZHs2KA-uk0hHb) - Specifying the format of the measurement file being pointed to by the Label, as a CGATs-compatible file with certain additional requirements.
