The Records Database

The records.htm list of records is only a computer-generated generation of the original spreadsheet. Some information was dropped in order to fulfill the HTML format specification. However, the html codes retains some hidden information for program use.

A spreadsheet or database format will let you perform selection and sorting, and easily adjust the looks of the document for printing. Please select the format that best suits your computer.

Note to technically minded users

XML file structure

Documents in OpenDocument file format are stored as compressed .zip archives that contain XML files. To view these XML files, you can open the OpenDocument file with an unzip program. The records.tar.gz file should open automatically with such a program. The following files and directories are contained within the files:

• The text content of the document is located in content.xml.
• The file meta.xml contains the meta information of the document (Properties).
• The file settings.xml contains further information about the settings for this document, like styles and formats.
• The meta-inf/manifest.xml file describes the structure of the XML file.

An XML reading program, with access to the Internet to get the Document Type Definition from the OpenOffice website if it does not keep a local version, can process such a document. I think that Microsoft Excell 2003 is such a program.
