== General description ==

Starlink NDF files are a hierarchical structuring format, primarily for astronomical data, developed by the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starlink_Project UK Starlink Project] (1980--2005), and based on the same project's [[Starlink Data Format|SDF]] files.

== Other information ==

The NDF format is documented in the Starlink project document [http://www.starlink.rl.ac.uk/docs/sun33.htx/sun33.html SUN/33].

The Starlink Project<ref>The Starlink Project, http://starlink.jach.hawaii.edu/</ref> ran from 1980 to 2005, and has been supported, since its funding ended, by the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joint_Astronomy_Centre Joint Astronomy Centre, Hawai`i].
