We have LTO-tapes, Diskettes, CDs, DVDs. But would it not be great with a Spatial Archive format? Quite similar to FFS - however with more "unlimited availability" in the future? This was the "Archive" in SAIF in the early days also.

Should this be a new format for archive? FFS-Archive ? That is meant to be just packaged away, but be able to read also in the year 2100

There are already a lot of good candidates with more or less this goal in mind, e.g.:

  • XML / GML
  • Inspire
  • SOSI
  • Interlis
  • CSV
  • GeoJSON
