USD is a flexible FileFormat Plugin System From Pixar



Here is the USD Google Group mailing list:
"USD contains a flexible FileFormat plugin system that allows arbitrary file formats to be parsed, dynamically translated (if required), and composed into USD. USD will always ship with (at minimum) a complete, stable, ascii representation, as well as an efficient binary representation that may evolve over time. We have found the ascii representation to be tremendously valuable for debugging, and plan to also use it for archiving "legacy" assets such that current software will always be able to parse the assets without needing to maintain support for deprecated binary back-ends."
