11 Scientific Data Format: SAIF
SAIF (Spatial Archive and Interchange Format) is a Canadian standard
for the exchange of geographic data. It uses an object oriented data
model, and consists of definitions of the underlying building blocks,
including tuples, sets, lists, enumerations, and primitives.
A company has formed to provide tools and training for the SAIF data
standard. Safe Software may be contacted by email at infosafe@safe.com
or by phone at either (604) 241-4424 or (604) 583-2016. They maintain a
WWW page for SAIF at <URL:http://www.wimsey.com/~infosafe/saif/saifHome.html>
which will be continually updated.
The SAIF specification is also available by FTP at
<URL:ftp://s2k-ftp.cs.berkeley.edu/pub/sequoia/schema/STANDARDS/SAIF> and
<URL:ftp://moon.cecer.army.mil/ogis/related/>.
There is a SAIF Mailing List: send email to "infosafe@safe.com" with
the subject "SAIF Request" to be added to the list.
