TIFF/A

TIFF/A. Gary McGath. File Formats Blog.  July 3, 2015.
   The tiff format has been around for a long time. There have been many changes and additions, such that "TIFF today is the sum of a lot of unwritten rules".  A group of academic archivists have been working on a long term readable version, calling it TIFF/A. A white paper discusses the technical issues. Discussions starting in September will hope to create a version to submit for ISO consideration.
