CSV Format Output (or tab delimited)

• The output is broken up into two parts:
  • header
    • Contains N lines of text, where N is as large as needed to hold AKN-approved attribution and branding info.
    • Each line of text is treated as a single CSV field, which means it must be enclosed by double quotes, if it contains commas.
    • Should this header data be plain text or HTML?
    • If multiple header lines are included, the expectation are that they would be each turned into one paragraph in a presentation of the data. E.g. line #1 ==> paragraph #1.
  • blank line, to separate header and data
  • data

• • • if S species are returned, the data part of the response has S+1 rows
      • row 1 contains N for each of 48 "weeks"
      • rows 2 through S+1 contain species name and frequency (0 <= frequency <= 1)

• • • the data part of the response contains 50 columns
      • column 1 :: sci. name
      • column 2 :: common name
      • columns 3-50 :: frequency or category
