Common Biometric Exchange Formats Framework Standardization

Common Biometric Exchange Formats Framework (CBEFF) provides a standardized set of definitions and procedures that support the interchange of biometric data in standard data structures called CBEFF biometric information records (BIRs). BIRs are well-defined data structures that consist of two or three parts: the standard biometric header (SBH), the biometric data block (BDB), and possibly the o...

Data formats for phonological corpora

The annotation of linguistic resources has long-standing traditions (see Cole et al., 2010). The other chapters of this book make clear that the production of annotated resources is a laborious, time-consuming, andexpensive task. In theory, we want to make these resources available in such a way that they can be re-used by as many scholars as possible (see Ide&Romary, 2002). However, a largevar...

Mediating Among Diverse Data Formats

The growth of the Internet and other global networks has made large quantities of data available in a wide variety of formats. Unfortunately, most programs are only able to interpret a small number of formats, and cannot take advantage of data in unfamiliar formats. As the Internet grows, new applications arise, and legacy data persists, the diversity of formats will continue to increase, worse...

Scientific formats for geospatial data

The volume, complexity, variability and accessibility of geospatial of digital geospatial data pose formidable challenges for the National Archives. Scientific and engineering communities faces many of the same challenges in managing large, complex digital data collections. This study examines gridded and vector geospatial data through the prism of scientific data management, with particular em...
