File Formats

They use the following data formats on this website:

CSV Files
Comma (or Character) Separated Value files are compatible with all types of spreadsheet and data management software and can also be read and edited in a text editor. They are preferable to proprietory file formats such as Microsoft Word or Excel or Adobe PDF. The Government are recommending CSV as a suitable format for open data to be supplied by public bodies and are mandating it in some cases.

XML Files
XML (eXtensible Markup Language) is a standard format for exchanging information. It is particularly useful for information that will be used on a website.
