Documents exist in multiple formats throughout the world. To the exchange of information between IABIN partners and organizations, it is recommended that the network endorse non-proprietary document formats. However, document exchange between individual IABIN countries may still consist of sharing information within its native format (i.e. MS Word, PDF, etc.). Therefore, when appropriate, IABIN will support both making availability the original document format and a non-proprietary format such as HTML or ASCII text.
