Abstract:
The LIGO/VIRGO Data Frame Format for interferometric gravitational wave detectors (IGWD) is a collaborative effort that has evolved out of a frame format design originated within the VIRGO Project. This specification has evolved out of the recognition for the need of a standard definition of this frame format that can be used by individual (international) projects wishing to adhere to a common representation of data produced by IGWD. It is hoped that by using a standard design for data, future collaborative analyses of data taken by different projects can be promoted more easily.
