The Spatial Archive and Interchange Format is a Canadian national standard for representing geospatial information. It can provide a basis for geospatial modeling and for exchanging or archiving spatial data.
SAIF is related to international geospatial standardization efforts, including the OpenGIS initiative and SQL Multimedia Spatial, now generally known as SQL/MM Spatial.
Open a saf file with a GIS application or other specialized tool that supports the Spatial Archive and Interchange Format. Because SAIF is a legacy format, current GIS software may not include support; the software that created the file or a compatible historical SAIF tool may be required.
If compatible GIS software can import the file, use that application to export the data to a currently supported geospatial format.
