It must be converted (translated if you like..) to a defined image format (.tiff, .jpg, etc) in order to be rendered viewable. Ever notice that if you open a RAW file on your computer you cannot save it as such after editing it? For practical purposes, .jpg is the preferred format for web display, usually in sRGB colorspace. People who shoot in RAW format are doing so to ensure that they are recording the maximum possible amount of image data to be used in the editing process later. Shooting RAW is useful when one is not committed to a final file format, or recognizes the potential need for large high resolution files for large format printing (but I digress..).
