More Information

This document doesn't claim to specify the complete Vector DBC standard. This is a perpetual work-in-progress, and you're encouraged to make any contributions you can to help this project stay alive.

All of this info is freely available on the internet, I've simply assembled some relevant topics and pushed it to GitHub.
