  Description     : Standards document describing ASDF

This document describes the Advanced Scientific Data Format (ASDF).
ASDF is a proposed next generation interchange format for scientific
data. ASDF aims to exist in the same middle ground that made FITS so
successful, by being a hybrid text and binary format: containing
humanditable metadata for interchange, and raw binary data that is fast
to load and use. Unlike FITS, the metadata is highly structured and is
designed up-front for extensibility.

It is a build dependency of the asdf-astropy package. I will
maintain it within the Debian Astro team in Salsa:

Best regards

Ole
