One of the core components of the Segment[Spec](/docs/connections/spec) is the[Track](/docs/connections/spec/track) call. It describes any arbitrary event that the user has triggered. For some industry verticals and applications, Segment has standardized event names. For Ecommerce tracking, for example, there are**specific event names and properties** that we recognize semantically. This semantic meaning allows Segment to specially recognize and transform key events before sending them off to each different tool.

There are a few places whereSegmenthas standardized event names and propertiesalready:

Segmentcurrently standardizes event names and propertiesin the following places:

-[Mobile](/docs/connections/spec/mobile)

-[A/B Testing](/docs/connections/spec/ab-testing)

-[Ecommerce](/docs/connections/spec/ecommerce/v2/)

-[Email](/docs/connections/spec/email)

-[Live Chat](/docs/connections/spec/live-chat)

-[Video](/docs/connections/spec/video)

In the future Segment plans to standardize event names from other data sources as well.
