UPF (Universal Preservation Format) was a format proposed in the late 1990s for institutional archiving of electronic multimedia works. It was being developed by the WGBH Educational Foundation with some government-grant funding. It seems to be related to or inspired by the Apple Bento format for platform-interchangeable data.
