1. Overview

+ + +
+ + +
+ +

+SQLite is a +Recommended Storage Format +for datasets according to the +US Library of Congress. +Further information: + +

+

+ +

+As of this writing (2018-05-29) the only other recommended storage formats +for datasets are XML, JSON, and CSV. + +

1.1. What Is A Recommended Storage Format?

+ +

+Recommended storage formats are formats which, in the opinion of the +preservationists at the Library of Congress, maximizes the chance of +survival and continued accessibility of digital content. +When selecting recommended storage formats, the following criteria are +considered (quoting from the LOC website): + +

    +

  1. Disclosure. +Degree to which complete specifications and tools for validating +technical integrity exist and are accessible to those creating and +sustaining digital content. +A spectrum of disclosure levels can be observed for digital formats. +What is most significant is not approval by a recognized standards body, +but the existence of complete documentation. +

  2. Adoption. +Degree to which the format is already used by the primary creators, +disseminators, or users of information resources. +This includes use as a master format, for delivery to end users, +and as a means of interchange between systems. +

  3. Transparency. +Degree to which the digital representation is open to direct analysis +with basic tools, such as human readability using a text-only editor. +

  4. Self-documentation. +Self-documenting digital objects contain basic descriptive, +technical, and other administrative metadata. +

  5. External Dependencies. +Degree to which a particular format depends on particular hardware, +operating system, or software for rendering or use and the predicted +complexity of dealing with those dependencies in future technical +environments. +

  6. Impact of Patents. +Degree to which the ability of archival institutions to sustain content +in a format will be inhibited by patents. +

  7. Technical Protection Mechanisms. +Implementation of mechanisms such as encryption that prevent the +preservation of content by a trusted repository. +
