- Should on ingest be able to validate objects as the
type
they purport to be
- Should also be able to extract technical and
descriptive metadata where this is either contained in the object or
derivable from it
- Preferred solution seems to be to use
JHOVE (the JSTOR/Harvard Object Validator and Extractor)
- ARROW will be working with JHOVE to
- make use of existing plugins
- expand their functionality
- provide additional plugins for
new file types
- Cross-sector Opportunity: to agree to use
the same plugin
framework, and put effort into enhancing the functionality
