Standardized data formats are crucial for several reasons:
Interoperability: They enable data from different sources to be combined and compared effectively. Data Quality: Ensuring uniformity in data collection and reporting improves accuracy and reduces errors. Efficiency: Streamlined data management processes save time and resources. Reproducibility: Standard formats facilitate the replication of studies and verification of results. Global Collaboration: They support international collaborations by providing a common language for data exchange.
