in this list (http://justsolve.archiveteam.org/index.php/Graphics) JPG is listed as a BMP format. I would argue its not a bit mapped image format. Raster yes, bmp no....

Does 'Raster' need to be a separate category then? Dan Tobias (talk) 07:36, 12 November 2012 (UTC)
Is this distinction (which I understand from a technical point of view, I should add) really relevant enough to warrant a separate category? Perhaps the solution is to rename the whole category to raster graphics formats? --Nitro2k01 (talk) 12:41, 12 November 2012 (UTC)
I'd support renaming category to Raster. swanQ
Done. -- Rhetoric X (talk) 19:40, 12 November 2012 (UTC)

(JPEG2000 code stream)

I've moved this into 'raster' (from unclassified). Argument: if its a the graphics aspect we care about its a raster image, if its the code stream, it might actually be a data object, not graphics.

Container formats - does they belong here?

e.g. PDF, RIFF

Argument: its a container/structure format, not a graphics format. If PDF belongs, why not MS DOC, or .RAR?
2nd Argument (PDF): If it does belong here, is it raster or vector? I would suggest that it 'vectors' the objects, which themselves are raster/vector (not sure PDF supports the embedding of vector types?)
