1991年引入了STAR(自定义文本存档和检索)文件格式，用于电子数据传输和存档。此格式设计为可扩展和灵活，以独立于机器的方式处理所有类型的数据。作为一种文件格式，STAR既包含文件中包含的信息的模型(结构)，也包含定义文件中信息的布局(序列化)的语法。这篇手稿报告了从布局中分解模型的尝试，在这样做的过程中，既强调了STAR变体和版本之间的差异，也提出了STAR模型在XML中的简单替代序列化。
The STAR (Self-defining Text Archival and Retrieval) file format for electronic data transfer and archiving was introduced in 1991. This format was designed to be extensible and flexible to handle all types of data in a machine independent manner. As a file format, STAR encompasses both a model (structure) for the information contained within the file as well as a syntax for defining the layout of the information within the file (serialization). This manuscript reports on an attempt to decompose the model from the layout and in doing so, both highlight differences between variants and versions of STAR as well as propose a simple alternate serialization of the STAR model in XML.
