The Open eXchange Data Format, or OpenXDF, is an open, XML-based standard for the digital storage of time-series physiological signals and metadata. OpenXDF primarily focuses on electroencephalography and polysomnography. Neurotronics began work on the format in 2003 and released the first draft just before the 18th meeting of the Associated Professional Sleep Societies in 2004. Neurotronics has since relinquished control of the format to the OpenXDF Consortium.
Neurotronics began the OpenXDF initiative with the goal of providing a modern, open, and extensible file format with which clinicians and researchers can share physiological data and metadata, such as signal data, signal montages, patient demographics, and event logs.
OpenXDF began as a superset of the European Data Format, the current defacto standard.
