To summarise - UP's policy for file formats is:<br />
• Everything put in <strong>UPSpace</strong> will be retrievable.<br />
• As many files formats as possible will be recognised.<br />
• As many known file formats as possible will be supported through <strong>UPSpace</strong>.<br />
• Formats and techniques will be continuously monitored to ensure needs can be<br />
accommodated as they arise.<br />
• The size <strong>of</strong> a bitstream allowed for submission is currently unlimited, but this will be revised<br />
over time.<br />
• All files need to be submitted in at least pdf format (open standard, recommended for<br />
preservation purposes), and then any additional format. For media files:<br />
