General description
This page describes one of several known SDF file formats, and at least two formats called simple data format. This one is described as a "simple data publishing format (Simple Data Format) for publishing and sharing data". (Note: in this wiki the characters "-DPT" have been arbitrarily added to distibguish this Simple Data Format from the Simple Data format created earlier by George H Fisher). It is created by the Data Protocols Team (in 2011?), whose manifesto is at http://www.dataprotocols.org/en/latest/manifesto.html. This does not however identify the Data Protocols Team or its affiliations.
The draft specification is at http://www.dataprotocols.org/en/latest/simple-data-format.html. The format's focus is simlicity and web usage. It is based on CSV for the base data and JSON for schema, metadata and lined data aspects.
