Library of Congress Recommended Formats Statement 2015 - 2016

Library of Congress Recommended Formats Statement 2015 - 2016. July 15, 2015.
     The Library of Congress, as part of it ongoing commitment to to digital preservation, has provided the 2015-2016 version of the Recommended Formats Statement, and is seeking comments for next year's version. (The article in the Signal reviews some of the changes.)

There have been changes to the content, the layout, and also they have changed the name to from "Specifications" to "Statement".
"The Statement provides guidance on identifying sets of formats which are not drawn so narrowly as to discourage creators from working within them, but will instead encourage creators to use them to produce works in formats which will make preserving them and making them accessible simpler."
