Hi Pauline, your suggestion merits its own thread.
I definitely agree that the file format registry, and broader, the digital preservation capabilities of DSpace deserve more attention and improvement. The fact that we're currently only looking at file extension and that we haven't hooked in something like DROID or PRONOM for more solid file format identification is also a blind spot. Would be curious to see what your biggest issues and suggestions are for the file format registry. thanks, Bram [image: logo] Bram Luyten 250-B Suite 3A, Lucius Gordon Drive, West Henrietta, NY 14586 Esperantolaan 4, Heverlee 3001, Belgium atmire.com <http://atmire.com/website/?q=services&utm_source=emailfooter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=braml> On 18 February 2017 at 13:19, WARD Pauline <[email protected]> wrote: > It's not a pressing issue for us at Edinburgh. > > > I think actually the File Format Registry could be made much more > functional (compared to how it works in v5.2), much more useful both for > curators, depositors and especially end-users.
