4: Formatting
Choose the right format for the data. Other Information:
There are many different data formats, but which will work best with your data? The primary format for human-readable data
is (X)HTML. Raw data is more likely to be produced using formats customized to the specific data, the tools used, or industry
standards. The W3C has pioneered XML and RDF, which allow for excellent manipulation and standardized tool sets. RDF and XML
files can be accessed like databases, using SPARQL, XQuery, JavaScript and many other computer languages. When possible, use
established open standards, and tools that allow easy and efficient production and publishing of the data. See the References
section for a list of current tools. Also keep in mind the power of linked data.
