PASC Web Site Operational Guide
About Document Formats

The purposes of the PASC Web Site are

Providing information about PASC to the interested public

Facilitating access to work documents shared by PASC members

Facilitating discussion among PASC members

In order to support these uses, which document formats are best shared by the PASC membership?

Important considerations for determining file formats for different types of information on the web are:

Portability - how quickly can the file be downloaded?
Accessibility - will it need to be viewed online? Or will it need to be downloaded and printed? i.e. how will the user want to access this information?
Editability - Will the document need to accept changes from various sources?
Compatibility - Can the document be opened and used by everyone who needs to use it? Does it need to work on different platforms?
