XML for Analysis is an industry standard for data access in analytical systems, such as OLAP and data mining.

XMLA is based on other industry standards such as XML, SOAP and HTTP. XMLA is maintained by XMLA Council with Microsoft, Hyperion and SAS being the official XMLA Council founder members. See Wikipedia article for more details.

With the acquisition of Hyperion in 2007, Oracle now supports XML for Analysis as well.

XMLA is the native protocol for Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Analysis Services (SSAS), used for all interaction between a client application and an instance of Analysis Services. Analysis Services fully supports XML for Analysis 1.1, and also provides extensions to support metadata management, session management, and locking capabilities. Both Analysis Management Objects (AMO) and ADOMD.NET use the XMLA protocol when communicating with an instance of Analysis Services. See Microsoft TechNet for more details.
