[open-government] File Format Guidelines for Preservation and Long-term Access - Library and Archives Canada

[Tracey P. Lauriault]

For those of you working on file formats for *open data cities* or on *other
open data projects* in Canada, Library and Archives Canada has just released
the following.

Often those suitable for long term preservation of data are also suitable
for open data projects and are open source.  I am sure that if there are
some preservation formats that have been tested and are missing in this
registry, they would be willing to hear about them.  They would need some
documentation to support claims of course.
