General description
Starlink NDF files are a hierarchical structuring format, primarily for astronomical data, developed by the UK Starlink Project (1980--2005), and based on the same project's SDF files.
Other information
The NDF format is documented in the Starlink project document SUN/33.
The Starlink Project[1] ran from 1980 to 2005, and has been supported, since its funding ended, by the Joint Astronomy Centre, Hawai`i.
There is no standard NDF MIME type. Almost all NDF files used a .sdf file extension.
Software
The Starlink software suite reads, writes and manipulates NDF files.
Sample files
No collections known.
Identification
