==Overview==
'''Raw Audio''' is a class of file formats, mostly binary, for storing uncompressed audio. It is not a well-defined format and usually lacks any header information. The audio is often stored in a [[LPCM]] coded raw form with various bit depth, byte order, sample rate and number of channels. Multiple channels can be stored in an interleaved or planar (one channel at a time) way.

==Software==
RAW Audio can be decoded with the following applications:
* Audacity (Import -> Raw Data...)
* Steinberg WaveLab (Open -> Import special Audio file...)

Written Languages

Writing dates back to approximately the 4th millennium BC, and marks the boundary between "prehistoric" and "historic" times.

Written language generally consists of a set of symbols (alphabetic, ideographic, or other) which represents an underlying language (usually derived from a [[Spoken Languages|spoken language]]) and is in turn given a physical or electronic representation as marks on a medium (such as [[paper]]) or digitally-encoded characters via a [[Character Encoding]]. Physical-media written language can also be digitized as [[graphics]]. The process of converting an image of written text into digitized characters (for further processing or indexing) is known as Optical Character Recognition (OCR).

One should keep in mind the distinction between the abstract characters of a writing system and the specific "glyphs" that may represent them visually; the latter can vary by font style and exist in a variety of printed and handwritten versions. Just what is a "separate character" versus a stylistic variation on one can be a somewhat arbitrary distinction; the letters "i" and "j" were at one point considered variations on a single letter of the Latin alphabet, while there continues to be controversy over which characters in the Chinese, Japanese, and Korean writing systems should be considered distinct.

While writing is, in its basic form, a visual medium, various non-visual representations also exist, such as the tactile code of [[Braille]] and the auditory [[Morse code]]. These are different "file formats" for the purpose of this site, but they map onto underlying writing systems which are common to varied representations of the same language.

Another thing that can vary across writing systems is whether writing is from left-to-right or right-to-left, or sometimes top-to-bottom.

== Alphabetic systems ==
* Arabic alphabet
* Cyrillic alphabet (Russian, etc.)
* Greek alphabet
* Hebrew alphabet
* Latin alphabet (English, French, Italian, etc.)
* Hangul (Korean)

== Other systems ==
* Chinese script
* Cuneiform
* Heiroglyphs
* Japanese script

== Other things expressed in writing ==
In addition to those representing the sounds or words of a human language, written communication sometimes uses other symbols and systems to express things like numbers or dates, in systems that can vary culturally or be internationally standardized, sometimes independently of what language the document is in.

* [[Comics]]
* Hindu-Arabic numerals (used nearly universally in Western culture)
* Date and time formats
* Mathematical notation
* Musical notation
* Roman numerals

File Information Tool Set

2012-11-11T21:35:44Z

Tungol:

FITS, the File Information Tool Set, is software created at the Harvard University Library to identify, validate, and extract technical metadata for various file formats. It wraps several third-party open source tools, normalizes and consolidates their output, and reports any errors. The tools which it incorporates include JHOVE, Exiftool, National Library of New Zealand Metadata Extractor, DROID, FFIdent, and Windows File Utility.

== General description ==

FITS (Flexible Image Transport System) is a heavily-used and well-standardised format for storing astronomical data. It can store both images and tables, and has basic but flexible support for metadata.

The format is fundamentally rather simple; indeed it is simple enough that a basic reader can be constructed with a relatively small amount of effort, but this is rarely necessary, since there are readers and writers for a broad range of scientific programming languages.

The metadata is stored as a list of key-value pairs, with the keys being up to eight characters long, and the values up to 70 characters. There are some standards, and several conventions, for the choices of keyword. These conventions generally interoperate well, but readers should be aware that collisions are possible.

The format has been standardised in a sequence of papers in the journal Astronomy and Astrophysics, and a set of conventions for header metadata has been developed, over a number of years.

== Other information ==

The format is summarised in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FITS Wikipedia], which includes some history of the format.

For further information, see:
* Version 3 of FITS is described in <ref>William D Pence, L Chiappetti, Clive G Page, R A Shaw and E Stobie, ''Definition of the Flexible Image Transport System (FITS), version 3.0'', Astronomy and Astrophysics, '''524''', A42+ (2010) doi:10.1051/0004-6361/201015362, (ADS bibcode: [http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/1981A&AS...44..363W 1981A&AS...44..363W])</ref>, and this document has been approved by the [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=International_Astronomical_Union&oldid=520671540 IAU's] [http://fits.gsfc.nasa.gov/iaufwg/iaufwg.html FITS Working Group].

Is there a better term for this than "Free Operating System"? To me, that would include free UNIXes or other free OSes unrelated to proprietary systems.

Disk Image Formats

2012-10-29T06:54:11Z

Tungol:

File systems and other file formats described on this page's parent page describe entities that exist on disks as they would normally used.

However, there are also file formats that allow a physical disk to be "imaged" into a file, either to re-copied onto a physical disk later, or else used by an *emulator* of the computer system that would have originally.

These file formats represent a data image of one of the physical floppy disk formats. In addition to the raw data from the disk, these formats may contain metadata that the corresponding emulator environment uses to correctly access the data.

Typically, when archiving a physical disk for later use, a physical disk will be imaged into one of these file formats. Sub-pages of this page should contain information on the format itself as well as instructions on how to extract a physical disk into that disk image format, including information about what physical drives are required, what software to use and how and what OS that is run under.

Property List/Binary

2012-10-27T09:42:00Z

Tungol: Format description for binary plist files I wrote a while ago after some research on them. This seems like a good home for it.

= Format description =

== Available types ==

The following types are available in a binary plist:
# singleton (boolean, null, fill)
# integer
# float
# date
# binary data
# single byte string
# double byte string
# UID
# array
# dictionary

== File Sections ==

A binary plist file has four sections:
# The first 8 bytes are an identifier, equal to 'bplistXX' where XX is two digits. 'bplist00' and 'bplist01' are known, I don't know the differences.
# Second is all of the elements in the plist, encoded and concatenated.
# Third is the concatenation of the offsets of all of the elements in the plist, each offset given as an unsigned integer in a fixed number of bytes. An object in the plist has a reference number that is based on the 0-based indexing of this table, e.g. object number 0 is the object at the offset given first in this table.
# The final 32 bytes, the "trailer" section.

== Trailer ==

The final 32 bytes of a binary plist have the following format:
# 6 bytes of \x00 padding
# a 1 byte integer which is the number of bytes for an offset value. Valid values are 1, 2, 3, or 4. Offset values are encoded as unsigned, big endian integers. Must be wide enough to encode the offset of the offset table, not just the highest object offset.
# a 1 byte integer which is the number of bytes for an object reference number. Valid values are 1 or 2. Reference numbers are encoded as unsigned, big endian integers.
# 4 bytes of \x00 padding
# a 4 byte integer which is the number of objects in the plist
# 4 bytes of \x00 padding
# a 4 byte integer which is the reference number of the root object in the plist. This is usually zero.
# 4 bytes of \x00 padding
# a 4 byte integer which is the offset in the file of the start of the offset table, named above as the third element in a binary plist

== Object encoding ==

The encoding of the available types are as follows:

The first four bits are an id number of the object type, according to the following mapping:
* 0x0 singleton
* 0x1 integer
* 0x2 float
* 0x3 date
* 0x4 binary data
* 0x5 single byte string
* 0x6 double byte string
* 0x8 UID
* 0xa array
* 0xd dictionary

The second four bits are the size of the object. If the value given is 15,
this means that the true object size is greater than can be expressed in
four bits. In this case, the next byte is the start of the true size,
encoded like the integer objects, except the value is unsigned. This is not
the case for 0x0 type objects however, see below for details. I will refer to
this value as the object length.

The encoding for the remainder of the object varies by type. The "byte
length" is the number of bytes used in encoding the object, not counting the
encoding of the type id number and object length already discussed.

=== Singleton ===

Type number 0x0 groups together boolean values, a null value, and something
called 'fill' by plutil.pl. I don't know what fill is for. The object length
is actually the value of the object, and the byte length is always zero. A
value of 0 means null, 8 means False, 9 means True, and 15 means fill. Any
other value is invalid.

=== Integer ===

The byte length is equal to 2 to the power of the object length. Valid
object lengths are 0, 1, 2, and 3 for 1, 2, 4, and 8 byte integers,
respectively. The encoding is as a big-endian, signed integer in the
appropriate number of bytes.

=== Float ===

The object length to byte length conversion is the same as for integers. The
object length is 2 or 3, corresponding to a byte length of 4 or 8. The
encoding is as a big-endian, single-precision or a double-precision float,
accordingly.

=== Date ===

Dates are stored as a float with a value of seconds since the epoch of 1
January 2001, 0:00:00 GMT. Encoding is the same as the encoding for floats,
except that the object length is always 3, for a byte length of 8.

=== Binary Data ===

The byte length is the object length, and any value is valid. The bytes are
not interpreted.

=== Single Byte String ===

The byte length is the object length, and any value is valid. Encoding is
ASCII.

=== Double Byte String ===

The byte length is twice the object length, and any value is valid. The
encoding is utf-16 (big endian).

=== UID ===

Encoding is as integers, except values are unsigned. These are used
extensively in files written using NSKeyedArchiver, a serializer for
Objective-C objects. The UID value seems to be the index of a value within
the $objects list inside such a plist.

=== Array ===

The byte length is the object length times the number of bytes per object
reference for this plist file, i.e. either one or two times the object
length. Any object length is valid. The encoding is the concatenation of
object reference numbers as unsigned, big-endian integers each encoded in
the number of bytes per object reference for this plist file.

=== Dictionary ===

The byte length is twice the object length times the number of bytes per
object reference. The encoding is as the concatenation of two encoded
arrays, the first of keys and the second of values. The first value in the
list of keys corresponds to the first value in the list of values, and so
on.

== Final Notes ==

When writing a binary plist file, any values that repeat within the file
should be encoded only once and that single object referenced where ever
that value repeats.
