 ### Formats (DBC, KCD)
 
-**DBC**
+**DBC** - The de facto standard for CAN databases is the DBC file format developed by Vector Informatik GmbH. It is a proprietary format in that no official public documentation or specification is available.
 
 * [DBC Format Specification v1.0](http://read.pudn.com/downloads766/ebook/3041455/DBC_File_Format_Documentation.pdf) - Leaked DBC file format specification v1.0 (the obsolete specification).
 * [DBC Format](http://socialledge.com/sjsu/index.php/DBC_Format) - Brief explanations about various sections, many examples and explains multiplexed signals well.
