Schema formats
From Just Solve the File Format Problem
This section is for formats that define or describe other formats.
The term "schema" is not perfectly accurate for some of these formats, but let's not nitpick. Another term that could be used is "metaformats", but we're using that for formats that implement other formats, which is a significantly different concept.
