The proposed standard is based on ideas sourced from the OGR GMT format, Python, MultiMarkdown and is self-consistent, plain text based and human-readable. The document describes the new GROT rotation file format (for GPlates Rotation file, pronounced g-rot) and allows for a much richer set of metadata attributes to be incorporated in the file standard.
These documents are included as Supplementary Information to a paper entitled "The GPlates Geological Information Model and Markup Language" by Xiaodong Qin (Micheal Chin), et al. Together with Michael Chin and John Cannon and parts of the GPlates community I have developed a new rotation file standard ( *.grot files) and Shapefile standardisation to improve the GPlates interoperability.
