The British National Archives has registered SQLite3 among its identified file formats (see PRONOM at http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/pronom/Default.aspx) and given it the following PUID: fmt/729.

The U.S. Library of Congress has included SQLite3 in its Recommended Formats Statement for the digital preservation of datasets (http://www.loc.gov/preservation/resources/rfs/data.html).

Hope this helps.

Dear all,

I'm wondering if there is any "formal" specification for the sqlite3
application format, as in standardized as an ISO/IEC standard, ECMA
standard or RFC?
How does one go about getting a long-established file format such as
SQLite "formalized"?

This is similar to .DOCX being registered as both ISO/IEC 29500
and ECMA-376; JSON being RFC 7159 and ECMA-404, XML being a W3C
specification with various parts as RFC.

Without a "formal" specification, it makes it (unnecessarily) "hard" for
governments to adopt SQLite3's database file as an application format as an
official formats for information exchange.

Such a "formal" specification would simply be a stripped down version of
Section 1 of http://www.sqlite.org/fileformat2.html, where all the reasons
for quirks or definite behavior are stripped and all values could be
described in the database' committed state.


Yours,
Henry
