PAD, the Portable Application Description, helps authors provide product descriptions and specifications to online sources in a standard way, using a standard data format, allowing webmasters and program librarians to save time in automating program listings. Authors are constantly asked for information about their products, either in online forms or by email. The PAD data set contains the most frequently requested information, all in one spot. Many online download sites are already supporting this endeavor.
