Sources
Most of what OpenFormatDB knows comes from registries and tools that did the work first. We aggregate them so one lookup covers identification, software and conversions; every imported record links back to its source, and fixes to imported data belong upstream.

Curated records
0 records are written directly in this repository (data/formats/), by people and their agents, under CC BY-SA 4.0. They override and enrich imported records for the same format.
Records are merged only on a shared PRONOM id, Wikidata id or Library of Congress id, never on an extension. Machine-readable: /api/sources.json.
