File formats are the language of a computers memory. Choosing the right format for the electronic information 640-863 we want to store is one important step in making good use of computers and minimising problems.
This book tries to help you choose the file format best suited to its use. It concentrates on two purposes of storing your information (data).
* Portability and interoperability
* Digital Preservation
Portability and 642-446 Interoperability is the ability of your data to be read (interpreted) by different software and hardware. The most common portable format in use now is the PDF (Portable Document Format) for sending documents over the internet. Somewhat more troublesome is the exchanging of address information between email software.
Digital Preservation can be defined as long-term, error-free storage of digital information, with means for retrieval and interpretation of needed files from the long-term, error-free digital storage, 642-552 for all the time span that the information is required for.
