Explanation of file formats in the table
File type Description
Text Indented text parseable by mp. This includes both files whose names end in .met and those whose names end in .txt. The former are the "sources" from which all the other formats are generated.
Outline Outline-style HTML. This is the output of mp with the -h command line option.
FAQ Metadata expressed as questions with answers. This is the "frequently-anticipated questions" form generated by mp.
SGML Standard Generalized Markup Language. These files are generated by mp so that Isite can index them. No hypertext links to these documents are provided.
DIF Directory Interchange Format. This format is in common use within NASA and is derived from a much older and less-detailed metadata standard.
