The shapefile download option creates a file that contains vector graphics that represent georeferenced points of the data. The shapefile comes with a dbf file for storing the data, a projection file to describe how the points are georeferenced and an index file for accessing records in the shape file. Shapefiles can be easily added to ESRI's ArcMAP software and other mapping applications. |
|
The DBF download option creates a binary file that contains the records of the data in a format that specifies the columns and the datatypes of the columns. The dbf file format can be easily imported into applications like Microsoft Access and ESRI ArcMAP. |
|
The Extensible Markup Language(XML) download option creates a text file that contains the records of the data in a tagged format that adheres to XML 1.0 specification. The XML file is a text file where each row is contained in a tag and the fields are contained in sub tags. This format is easily shared amongst various programs and applications accross various operating system platforms. |
|
The Comma Separated Values(CSV) download option creates a text file that contains the records of the data one record per row with column fields being separted by a comma. The first line of the file contains the column names separated by a comma. The CSV format is easily imported in various Microsoft Office applications and most programs that allow importing of data. |
