Electronic file formats

The PDF/A-1 format is according to ISO standard 19005 Document management - electronic file format for long-term preservation considered as long-term... 

The concept of the SELF (Standard ELectronic File) format was developed in 1998-2002 by the Task Group on Standard Physico-Chemical Data Formats (lUCOSPED) of the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (lUPAC) and the Committee on Data for Science and Technology (CODATA) in cooperation with the International Council of Scientific and Technical Information (ICSTI). A data portal, called DataExplorer (Fachinformationszentrum, Karlsruhe, Germany), implemented SELFs for a variety of physico-chemical properties. The structure of the SELFs in this volume follows the general format of lUCOSPED SELFs.

Once the job is completed, the UniChem GUI can be used to visualize results. It can be used to visualize common three-dimensional properties, such as electron density, orbital densities, electrostatic potentials, and spin density. It supports both the visualization of three-dimensional surfaces and colorized or contoured two-dimensional planes. There is a lot of control over colors, rendering quality, and the like. The final image can be printed or saved in several file formats. 

This question bank features more than 1000 multiple-choice, five-part questions. Electronic files of the Test Bank are available on the PowerLecture CD-ROM. BlackBoard and WebCT formatted files for the Test Bank are also available on the instructor s companion site at academic.cengage.com/chemlstry/masterton. 

Image libraries in PowerPoint and in JPEG format that contain electronic files for all text art, most photographs, and all numbered tables in the text. These files can be used to print transparencies or to customize your lectures. 

OPP scientists evaluated PDF submissions and supplemental files. For a pilot electronic data submission, OPP discussed the content of supplemental files with the registrant interested in providing an electronic data submission and worked on the data fields of interest for several toxicology studies. OPP evaluated SAS-XPORT (SAS Transport) files as a neutral file format for data tables. Two programs were evaluated by OPP DBMA Copy and Stat Transfer, which will transfer the data from the SAS-XPORT format into a format usable by the reviewer. 

OPP scientists are identifying the data elements (or fields) of interest for each study type where the reviewers felt that supplemental files would be useful, are identifying other information for each study type, which would be useful to have as electronic files, and are developing guidance for submission of supplemental files. This guidance is not ready to be published, but the scientists will work with the data submitters to ensure that the supplemental files for the particular study will be useful to the science reviewers. Even when guidance becomes available, OPP intends to be fiexible about the format of the supplemental files and will modify the guidance as needed. 

This guidance document governs how electronic files should be sent to the FDA. Currently, the FDA requests that electronic documents be submitted as Portable Document Format (PDF) files. The PDF page should be a standard 8.5" x 11" page with 1" margins and 12-point font. Data sets are currently to be sent to the FDA as SAS XPORT transport format files. In the future it is likely that data sets will be required to be sent as XMF files, probably formatted in the CDISC ODM. 

The employer you re submitting your resume to— Employers typically have specific guidelines for resume submissions. For example, some only accept traditional printed resumes, whereas others prefer to receive an electronic file in a particular format (such as Microsoft Word,... 

Other employers that accept electronic resumes request that the documents be created and saved in a specific file format, such as Microsoft Word, Rich Text Format, or ASCII. When creating an electronic resume, adhere exactly to the formatting specifications provided by the employer or career-related website. 

When your resume is in an electronic file, it can be e-mailed to an employer, posted on a website, added to an online database, and imported into applicant-tracking software used by potential employers. Although you won t have to deal with issues like choosing resume paper, picking the perfect font or ink color, or formatting your resume to look perfect on the printed page, there are other issues to contend with when creating an electronic resume. If you created your printed resume on a PC, you already have an electronic file with which to work. If you had someone prepare your printed resume and don t have access to or can t use the electronic file, you will have to create your electronic resume from scratch. 

Many companies accept electronic resumes in Microsoft Word or WordPerfect file formats. When creating your electronic resume using one of these software packages, pay careful attention to what format the finished document needs to be saved in before sending it to an employer. The majority of employers prefer to receive resumes in ASCII or Rich Text Format. Once you save your resume in a file format other than the program s proprietary format, you will probably have to further edit it in order to fix lost formatting (such as indentation or italics). 

Some employers give applicants the option to compete an online resume form or send an electronic file via e-mail. Unless your work history and other information fits nicely into the format the online form follows, opt to send your own electronic file via e-mail. This will allow you to more easily customize the format you use so you can best highlight your skills and abilities. 

File format All files should be submitted in portable document format (PDF). The version of Acrobat Reader to be used for review should be confirmed with the agency. Electronic data sets should be provided in SAS System XPORT transport format (version 5 SAS transport file). 

SAS Transport File Format. We are able to archive data sets in SAS XPORT transport format, also called version 5 SAS transport format. This is an open, published file format developed by SAS Institute. For additional information, see the SAS Institute s Standards for Electronic Submissions and SAS XPORT transport format Web site. 

In this guidance, we discuss specific issues unique to the electronic submission of INDs and their amendments. We have described general issues such as acceptable file formats, media, and submission procedures that are common to all submissions in the companion guidance, Providing Regulatory Submissions in Electronic Format—General Considerations, dated January 1999 (January 28,1999,64 FR 4433). 

Cross-References to Other INDs. At times, IND submissions are supported by a cross-reference to another IND [21 CFR 312.23(b)]. The utility of the electronic IND submission will be further increased if all reference materials are supplied with the IND submission. You should handle these files in the same manner as other electronic files submitted to the IND. For example, you should generate the files from electronic source files rather than from scanned paper documents if at all possible. If the electronic source file is not available, we will accept a scanned copy. You should describe the file format and organization of these files as described in this guidance. 

The types of analytical data contributed are Mass Spectra (MS), Infrared (IR) spectra, Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectra and Gas Chromatography Retention Indices (GC(RI)). The analytical data are contributed either in hard copy or as electronic files in acceptable formats. MS data is contributed in the electronic format. 

The option for data migration is to assess if it is technically feasible to migrate data. The supplier of the mass spectrometry software systems (Applied Biosystems/MDS Sciex) provides conversion programs to allow a user to migrate electronic records from the Macintosh to the Analyst system. Conversion is necessary as the file formats are completely different between the Macintosh and Windows NT environments. 

The document types that may be stored within the system may have a wide variety of file formats and sources, and range from just key documents to the totality of documents generated for a project. Eor each type of document stored in the EDMS, it is important to define the original version (i.e., as paper or electronic). 

The true business value of an EDMS is realized to the extent that it serves as more than just the terminus for document-related activities in an enterprise. To fully realize its goals, an enterprise paperless documentation system will perform functions across the entire document life-cycle. In addition to the storage of existing documents, users with appropriate system privileges must be able to create new electronic documents from within the electronic document management system. The system must explicitly support the file formats used by the business, which typically include word processing, spreadsheet, graphics, and database files. 

Users with appropriate system privileges must be able to view documents. Typically, documents to be viewed in an EDMS are presented as read-only files, either in the authoring application or a standard immutable file format such as TIFF (Tagged Image File Format) or Adobe s portable document format (PDF). By virtue of its flexibility and platform-independence, PDF has become the storage standard in contemporary electronic document management systems. Most systems will automatically create PDF files and provide the PDF rendition in response to a user view request.
