I was really just trying to educate myself on format registries, and determine if Dspace used an external registry like PRONOM or GDFR. I was also trying to look at the format field for bitstreams to see if they were general (e.g. MS Word) or more specific (e.g. MS Word 6.0). You are correct that we are using the XMLUI interface. After checking the registry via the admin menu, I'm guessing the answer is "no, it doesn't use an external registry and the format field is general".
I'm curious to know if there is anything in the works (or available as a plugin) to use an external registry and/or do a higher specificity of format detection. I'm somewhat new to the preservation aspect of all of this so bare with me if these are obvious (or off base) questions. Thanks.
