About Formats
When data objects are involved, for example, when working with web services, you need to describe all required formats used for data exchange.
When defining a data exchange format, you are not defining fields and validation rules. Instead, you are defining parsing options, such as: what delimiter is used for CSV or what namespace is used for XML.
