Is data formats a scientific area of research? Are there data formatscie

Hi Folks,

 

Do researchers study and devise new ways to format data? Is data formats a scientific area of research? Are there data format scientists? Can one get a degree at a university in data format science? Are there professors out there devising advanced ways to format text and binary data? Someone once told me that there are tens of thousands of data format standards or semi-standards; are there scientists out there who perform meta-analysis on those data formats? Are there professional journals on data format science where peer-reviewed articles are published?

 

If the answer to the above questions are no, would it be possible to start a new field of scientific endeavor – data format science? Would it be possible to create an academic curriculum that is focused on data format science?

 

Yes, I am aware of the XML conferences and the proceedings they publish. However, XML is just one of tens of thousands of data formats. My question is much broader than research into XML.

 

/Roger
