sure, I'll try.

for example:
   arin|US|asn|32|1|19840924|assigned|658cc9c515b51665f88b7fd1bc213d20|e-stats

Col 1 - RIR name, or 'iana'
Col 2 - The country where the entity 'resides' (or 'EU' in some cases), or 'ZZ' for reserved and unassigned blocks
Col 3 - 'asn' or 'ipv4' or 'ipv6'
Col 4 - The size of the allocation (asn or IPv4) or the prefix length (ipv6)
Col 5 - The starting value of the block
Col 6 - A date. For some registries this is the date of the original allocation - for others (ARIN) its not so clear precisely what this date signifies (!)
Col 7 - Status of the block
Col 8 - A hash field of the entity code (mu;ltiple allocations to the same entity have the same code) or null (RIPE NCC, IANA)
Col 9 - The source of the record (either "e-stats' where the original source is an extended stats file published by an RIR, or 'iana' if the data is lifted from an IANA registry)
