List of Preferred Formats for Data Submission
In general, ZFMK Data Center accepts every format for submission and ingestion into the long term archive. However, a few criteria would allow a potential future user to interpret and use the data from scratch:
- use a non-proprietary format for files.
- open, but patent-encumbered formats should be avoided.
- Simple format descriptions have precedence over more complicated ones.
- Formats should be described by a reasonably established international standards organization such as W3C, IEC or ISO.
