FormatSpecifications

To ensure the compatibility of separately developed systems for working with DELPH-IN-produced resources, we should formalize the formats of files and structures used by multiple systems.

Goals

• Provide a BNF representation of the syntax for each structure
• Provide an interpretation of fields, values, etc.
• Small Test set for implementers to test against
• "Official" implementations follow the specifications rather than the other way around
• Documentation for future delphinistas
