There have been a couple attempts at a 'Standard' data format either for data collection or at least data exchange. I would guess that if we do this right with a newly revised database that we could set what that standard was (at least for data exchange). Certainly we'll make ifeffit/athena/artemis read these files easily. But we should probably think about what is needed for a more universal and long-term format. I know Bruce has thought about this some and worked on a proposed format. Hopefully he'll post that.
Hi all, I have summarized some of the discussion on this topic at this web page: http://leonardo.phys.washington.edu/~ravel/software/fileformat.html I have also provided a link to the rough draft of a file format standard that Ken McIvor and I hacked up a couple months ago. There is also a link to this page in the "Ifeffit and friends" box on the left hand side of each of my software web pages.
