We recommend preparing data files in formats that are independent of software and computer platforms. Only for recommended file formats, we can assure long-term storage and access in the ADP.

At the point of ingest (receiving the submitted materials from the depositor) the ADP checks the submitted data formats and, if needed, either transforms them into appropriate formats or asks the depositor to submit the materials in our recommended file formats.
