Paul Bourke has published an impressive collection of information on various file formats on his website. It covers a wide range of formats, from widely used standards to more obscure specialty formats. Of particular note is the section on geometric data formats, which provides detailed information on over 70 different formats, including popular ones such as OBJ, FBX and COLLADA, but also lesser-known ones such as NUAGES or YASRT.
