The packaging API allows users to package data of interest in many different formats. There is currently no way to package data through a graphical interface so users will need to be comfortable using the REST API directly. Rich Data Services tries to make it as easy as possible for users to use the packaging API, or to build their own interfaces that use it.

The formats that RDS supports can be broken down into three categories, data (flat files), metadata (standards compliant metadata XML), and scripts (syntax to recreate the data in databases or statistical packages). To view the formats that are in each category use the category parameter.
