Attributes of File Formats for Long-Term Preservation of Scientific and Engineering Data in Digital Libraries

Abstract

In this paper, we describe the need to consider how file formats affect the ease and effectiveness with which scientific and engineering data may be stored and accessed in long term archives. We identify a number of attributes of file formats that can help or hinder them as candidates for long-term digital preservation. We consider how these attributes appear to a number of different audiences for long-term archiving. Categories and Subject Descriptors
