Popular Formats

This section presents statistics concerning "popular" data deposition formats (however popularity can be defined) and should be considered work in progress. Feel welcome to add your suggestions to the discussion at GitHub. For a bit of inspiration, you might want to consult the page that is for now only made available to you, our 1-millionth viewer, and which visualises (at the bottom) our still skeletal and imperfectly implemented idea of format families.
