Hi neeta,

If you get on to the OASIS site you may find a working group already dedicated to open data exchange (and therefore representation).

I have done a small study to understand the kind of data formats acceptable
by different govt  data portals worldwide..
and was surprised to find that there are more than 80 formats..(excel sheet enclosed for details)

while i understand, it is possible to convert many of these formats from one to other
still it is a kind of inconvenience or an extra effort !

should we not work towards some sort of standardization or atleast shorten the list of data formats
may be within ten?
