Hi Franziska, To answer the first part of your question, that ticket (DS-1096) is still looking for a volunteer or two to help us provide that integration with PRONOM. At this point in time, there's no timeline for when this work may happen, but it likely is still of interest. Similar to other open source platforms, DSpace itself is primarily developed and maintained by volunteers from throughout the world.
So, if you or anyone else is interested in this work, please do let us know (add a comment to that ticket) and then feel free to provide a GitHub Pull Request per our code contributions guidelines: https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSPACE/Code+Contribution+Guidelines At this point, I'm unaware of anyone who has implemented this locally. But, I would also be interested to hear about any who have built in this feature already! - Tim -- Tim Donohue Technical Lead for DSpace & DSpaceDirect DuraSpace.org | DSpace.org | DSpaceDirect.org On 8/17/2015 9:25 AM, Franziska Ackermann wrote: > Dear list, > > In the past there have been discussions to use PRONOM as an external > format registry for DSpace, > e.g. > https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSPACE/BitstreamFormat+Conversion+Instructions > > The idea dates back to 2011 and was considered to be a feature with > major priority back then (https://jira.duraspace.org/browse/DS-1096).
