What can be more enraging than staring at a scanned pdf, with tables of

hi all,
I personally feel this about PDF
It may have become an open format.
However this 'open' is relevant more for the people developing software for
and around pdf.
For a user it IS a good format for Viewing and Printing anything.
However if you want to use and further process the contents
Nisha,
Happy to help but I don't know much barring a bit about web accessibility

Thanks all for the feedback!
I'll tweak the letter and get started on an outline for standards and send

Last round of feedback and then we'll send it out!

Global experience has demonstrated convincingly that access to data leads
to breakthroughs in scientific understanding as well as to
That's a really good question.
I can see them making a point that they comply because a great deal of
their data is online in some fashion, just not machine readable or easy to
find. Also they don't have a data controller registered with the NIC:

It is unclear
Are there no guidelines in existence for what formats need to be used for

formats?
Echo that the letter needs to be sent. But Datameet should next prioritise
advocating for standard open formats for information sharing at
for that matter, pdf is an open standard. So are office formats since v2007
(office open xml).
We might want to specifically address the issue of the image-pdf menace.
