\section*{Data Formats}  FITS is an old and proven standard. The CCD images and scanned plates will be  kept in FITS. For the documents, we will use PDF, or rather PDF/A as much as  possible. The third choice is the simplest: plain ASCII text. Limiting the  accepted data formats might cause inconvenience for the depositing  researchers, but helps to keep the long-term costs and risks lower.
