Name: File Format
SubclassOf: []()
Description: A file format is an encoding of a file type that can be rendered or interpreted in a consistent, expected and meaningful way, through the intervention of a particular piece of software or hardware which has been designed to handle that format. A file may (or may not) be a container containing zero or more files of various formats. File formats may be defined by a specification, or by a reference software system. Many file formats exist in forms with minor variations, and many also in more than one version. Typing of file formats should be interpreted generously rather than strictly, but sufficiently precisely to distinguish versions where such distinctions have significant interpretive consequences.
