JHOVE2 2009 Fall Workshop

Wednesday, October 7, 2009 

Mission Bay Conference Center, San Francisco [Map and Directions]

Fisher Banquet Room East

 

The JHOVE2 workshop will be held on the Wednesday morning following the conclusion of the iPRES 2009 conference.  Members of the project team will present on:

  • The role of characterization in digital curation and preservation activities
  • An overview of the JHOVE2 project
  • Demonstration of the prototype JHOVE2 framework
  • Architectural review of the JHOVE2 application and Java APIs
  • Integration of JHOVE2 technology into existing or planned systems and services
  • Third-party development of conformant JHOVE2 modules
 

The JHOVE2 project (http://bitbucket.org/jhove2/main/wiki/Home), a collaborative effort of the California Digital Library (CDL), Portico, and Stanford University, is a two year initiative funded by the Library of Congress as part of its National Information Infrastructure Preservation Program (NDIIPP) to develop a next-generation application and framework for format-aware characterization.  The project seeks to build on the success of the original JHOVE characterization tool by addressing known limitations and offering significant new function.  These enhancements include:

  • Streamlined APIs
    • Increased modularization
    • Common module design patterns
  • Object, rather than file, focused characterization
    • Support for arbitrarily-nested container formats and formats instantiated across multiple files
  • Signature-based identification
  • Rules-based assessment
    • Support for determinations of acceptability in addition to validation conformity
  • User configuration of modules, characterization strategies, and formatted results
  • Performance improvements
