Variant Call Format (VCF) is tabular format for storing genomic sequence variations. 1000 Genomes Project has its own specification for encoding structural variations in VCF (https://www.internationalgenome.org/wiki/Analysis/Variant%20Call%20Format/VCF%20(Variant%20Call%20Format)%20version%204.0/encoding-structural-variants). This is based on VCF version 4.0 and not directly compatible with VCF version 4.3.
