Notes:

File input and output formats are represented in the matrix by the file extension. ASCII files, for example, are indicated by the extension "txt."
EPCRA = Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act
1. ERPIMS data can be imported through an Access file or a series of text files (.tes, .res, .sam, .ldi).
2. GeoSEM uses several GIS vector and raster file formats: DOD vector product format (VPF), ESRI product files, CAD drawings (dxf), ASCII grids, and georeferenced image formats such as geoTIFFs, bitmaps, GIFs, JPGs, and ERDAS.
