Several data formats are commonly used in nanotechnology:
XML (Extensible Markup Language): XML is used for its flexibility and ability to represent complex data structures. It is often employed in databases and for data exchange. CSV (Comma-Separated Values): CSV is a simple format for tabular data, frequently used for data that can be represented in rows and columns, such as measurement results. JSON (JavaScript Object Notation): JSON is lightweight and easy to read, making it ideal for data interchange, especially in web applications and APIs. HDF5 (Hierarchical Data Format version 5): HDF5 is used for storing large amounts of data. It is particularly useful for handling datasets that grow over time and for complex data types. SPARQL Protocol and RDF Query Language (SPARQL): SPARQL is used for querying and manipulating data stored in Resource Description Framework (RDF) format. It is useful for semantic data modeling in nanotechnology.
