[edit] "File" Format?
I think this should be "Physical Format", or "Physical Object Format" or something, as "File" implies a digital object... or am I the only one there? --Darkstar (talk) 23:10, 6 November 2012 (UTC)
- I disagree, file does not strictly imply digital object, but "a collection of data on a computer storage device, primarily identified by its filename. Just as words can be written on paper, so too can data be written to a computer file."[1] The reference also indicates punched card as both a "file" and a physical object that was used to store computer data.
