6. Data Formats No Proprietary Binary data formats. I shall NEVER keep my information in a proprietary binary format (such as Word, http://www.podval.org/~sds/data.html

No Proprietary Binary Data Formats I shall NEVER keep my information in a proprietary binary format (such as Word, WordPerfect, Excel etc). All my personal files are kept in plain text format. So please do not ask for my resume in the Word format - such requests will be silently ignored. On the other hand, if others (such as a client or an employer) want, I am willing to access their data in the format they want, if they provide me with the appropriate tools. Why Not? People create their files for future retrieval and reuse. E.g., today you might write a paper which you will print tomorrow, send via e-mail to a friend the next day and incorporate his remarks the next week, then you might want to retrieve your original text without his changes. If your data is saved in a proprietary binary format, these simple tasks are complicated beyond your wildest imagination. Printing: your proprietary tool has to include a driver for each printer you might want to use. What if the tool is withdrawn from the market? What about that latest and greatest printer you wanted to buy? PostScript, understood by all modern printers, is here to save your butt. E-mail: you will have to send the paper as an attachment, so your friend has to have a mailer which understand attachments (most mailers do). Now, if he wants to search all his e-mail for some phrase, he will have to start an application for each attachment - a hefty price to pay for a small search! He would also have to own a tool which understands your particular idiosyncratic proprietary binary format. What if his software version is different from yours? Do you realize that the binary file you send him contains much more than what your application shows you on the screen? [

RDF Architecture - W3C Note Brief technical note showing the relationships between the various World Wide Web Consortium controlled Category Computers data formats XML Document Types......W3C data formats. This document is a response to a frequently asked question aboutthe relationship between the various specifications for data formats. http://www.w3.org/TR/NOTE-rdfarch

NOTE-rdfarch W3C Data Formats W3C NOTE 29-October-1997 This document: http://www.w3.org/TR/NOTE-rdfarch Author: Tim Berners-Lee timbl@w3.org and the W3C team. Status of This Document This document is a response to a frequently asked question about the relationship between the various specifications for data formats. It is a simple explanation rather than a technical document. It will not be updated with time, carries no endorsement as an official specification itself. Please see the linked parts of the W3C web for details and the current status of developments at any time. Abstract XML is becoming increasingly adopted as a common syntax for expressing structure in data. Now the resource Description Framework (RDF), a layer on top of XML, provides a common basis for expressing semantics. Applications which allow programs to combine data logically will be built using RDF (and therefor XML) and this will enhance the modularity and extensibility of the Web. This is essential to its rapid future growth, multiplying together the strengths of new, independently developed, applications. Data Format Architecture This note gives an overview of some of the W3C data format specifications, and the relationships between them.

12. Currency Server - Data Formats Formats. Currency Server can read currency exchange rate data in a variety of data formats and transmission protocols. http://www.cloanto.com/currencyserver/dataformats.html

Data Formats Currency Server can read currency exchange rate data in a variety of data formats and transmission protocols. The preferred format is SERIFF , which is public, completely documented, offers support for all the necessary data fields, and allows chaining with non-SERIFF data if necessary. Other formats which are directly supported by the software, such as PRN , offer a subset of the functionality provided by SERIFF. Additionally, conversion filters can be used to access data in virtually any format. The location and protocol type of the currency exchange rate data can be set in the Data Source tab of the program options. The data is accessed by the software during scheduled or manual updates, and, in the case of a SERIFF file, it can in turn refer to other data (which can be in any format). For formats not internally supported by the software, filters make it possible to use external data conversion logic. If you are interested in a data format that is not yet supported, please let us know , providing format details if possible, and we will consider it for immediate implementation.

Contact GISDataDepot - GIS Data Formats GISDataDepot HelpDesk > Data Formats GIS Data Formats Digital Map Formats Vector File Formats Raster File Formats Information Types ... Software File Formats Digital Map Formats The term file format refers to the logical structure used to store information in a GIS file. File formats are important in part because not every GIS software package supports all formats. If you want to use a data set, but it isn’t available in a format that your GIS supports, you will have to find a way to transform it, find another data set, or find another GIS. Almost every GIS has its own internal file format. These formats are designed for optimal use inside the software and are often proprietary. They are not designed for use outside their native systems. Most systems also support transfer file formats. Transfer formats are designed to bring data in and out of the GIS software, so they are usually standardized and well documented. If your data needs are simple, your main concern will be with the internal format your GIS software supports. If you have complex data needs, you will want to learn about a wider range of transfer formats, especially if you want to mix data from different sources. Transfer formats will be required to import some data sets into your software.

Abstract File Types of Data Formats ICPSR distributes data in the following formats: ASCII OSIRIS SPSS Portable SAS Transport ASCII Most ICPSR data files are distributed as ASCII files. An ASCII data file consists of rows and columns of alphanumeric characters. Since ASCII data files are simply text files, they can be opened in any word processing program or Internet browser. However, the alphanumeric characters are not meaningful without the help of a codebook or data definition statements, which will link the columns of an ASCII data file to a particular variable. In order to analyze the data, the ASCII file should be read into a statistical, database, or spreadsheet software package. ASCII files come in one of two formats: Fixed Format: Each record of the file is the same length and the precise location of the data for each variable is in the same column on every line of data. Free Format: The length of the records of the file may vary. Variables are found in a specified sequence but not in the same column locations for each record. Variables are separated from one another by a delimiter (i.e., a special character such as a comma or tab).

Since these data files are ASCII-formatted, they may also be used with other statistical, database, or spreadsheet software. OSIRIS dictionaries are available for use with OSIRIS data files.
