## Abstract (arXiv)

This paper describes the TPTP format for representing interpretations. It provides a background survey that helped ensure that the representation format is adequate for different types of interpretations: Tarskian, Herbrand, and Kripke interpretations. The needs of applications that use models are considered. The syntax and semantics of the format are expounded in detail, with multiple examples. Verification of models is discussed. Some tools that support processing the format are noted. The properties of interpretations represented in the format are discussed.
