In this video, we take a closer look at what happens when we store those documents onto our computers. After a quick experiment with file extensions in this video, it will become clear how important it is to consider data formats at the outset of a project, to help safeguard the interoperability and long-term sustainability of the data we produce and share.
This video was made for the Datalogical Thinking course, specifically its Module called: 'A Quest for. Meaning'. A large part of the video was directly copied from a video Wout originally made for a course called 'Technologies for Digital Libraries 1' at the University of Borås. Some voice over and slide images were added to contextualise the lecture in the Datalogical Thinking course.
Please note that this reliance on a previous video is the reason why there is a small discrepancy between the download link and folder name of the folder that contains the course's training materials as shown at the start of the video, and the ones actually used in the experiment. The folder mentioned at the start (and downloadable in the Canvas pages of the Datalogical Thinking course) is called 'dataformats.zip', while the one used during the experiment is called 'TFDL1' (an acronym for the name of the course the video was originally made for). Other than their names, however, both folders are exactly the same, containing the same files. So this discrepancy will not affect the outcome of the experiment: either folder will work.
