The "Related software" section includes links to the detailed reports for software products related to the current software product. The "Default file format" field is a link to a detailed file format report.

Documentation

This section lists the documents related to a software product. The "Author" and "Publisher" fields are links to detailed vendor reports and the "Identifier(s)" field may include a link to an external website. Any IPR for the document is listed under its type and date.

Formats

This section lists the file formats a software product can process (i.e. create, render, identify, validate and/or extract metadata from), grouped by each process type. Each item in the list is an entry for a file format, whose name is a link to the detailed file format report on that format. Each file format may have one or more file extensions associated with it; these are listed, in brackets, after the file format name. For those file formats that the software product can render (i.e. read), the invariance of the process (that is, whether rendering the file format changes it in any way) is given in square brackets at the end of the file format entry.
