GEDCOM is a file format standard used by family history researchers for interchange of family trees. The standard is however complex and different genealogy programs often have different ideas about what the standard really specifies. This emphasises the need for a standard place on the internet where GEDCOM files can be validated.
The relevant GEDCOM standards can be found here.
