During the SRR process it was decided to identify possible standard alternatives to XFDU for data packaging to be used in SAFE. This alternative would be adopted just in case it is identified a clear benefit in any of the proposed candidates.
The attached document “Data Packaging Formats Trade-off” (PDGS-SAFE-GMV-TN-12-0073) provides the analysis and conclusions reached on this topic. This document reveals that there are no substantial improvements on adopting a different alternative to XFDU. Therefore it is still recommended to use the same standard (XFDU) for the new SAFE format specification.
Current topic discussion and the analysis included in the attached document are devoted to reach a consensus before the PDR-C because the final solution may imply a change in the format design that has to be considered for the SAFE Core Specification update.
