}}
= Description =
Taking its name (Lots of Copies Keeps Stuff Safe) from the idea that a file is more likely to survive if it has multiple copies stored in multiple places, [http://www.lockss.org/ LOCKSS] software allows libraries to create preserved digital collections out of materials that would otherwise be accessible only through a licensed academic subscription. LOCKSS has agreements with academic publishers to permit libraries to store local copies of content that is usually only accessible through web-based subscriptions, enabling post-cancellation content access. Serving as a web proxy, the software harvests content directly from publisher websites and continually compares it with the same content collected by other libraries’ systems, so that repairs can be made if any differences are detected.
The computer serving as a “LOCKSS Box” becomes a digital preservation appliance, allowing staff to monitor their content, control access, and perform file format migration. In this capacity they can be used in Private LOCKSS Networks (PLNs), working with material supplied by the organisations themselves.
====Provider====
LOCKSS is a stand-alone program based at Stanford University Libraries. The JISC-endorsed [http://www.lockssalliance.ac.uk/ UK LOCKSS Alliance] provides support for UK institutions.
====Licensing and cost====
The software is free and is available under an open-source [http://lockss.stanford.edu/lockss/Software_License Stanford-written license]. However, US institutions wishing to join the LOCKSS Alliance pay an annual fee ranging from $2,236 for “Baccalaureate Colleges” to $11,180 for “Very Large Research Universities”. For UK institutions, the UK LOCKSS Alliance offers pro-rata membership from £1,800-5,000 per year.
====Development activity====
The LOCKSS program is currently self-sustaining, and so development is ongoing. The software is updated on a six-week cycle, and automatically pushed to LOCKSS Boxes.
====Platform and interoperability====
LOCKSS software is integrated with a Linux installation based on CentOS 5. They therefore recommend installing LOCKSS on a dedicated workstation or server (physical or virtual), which should ideally be configured with 2GB of RAM and two 1TB hard drives to support RAID disk redundancy. LOCKSS was previously provided on an OpenBSD based platform, but as of 2011 this platform is being phased out.
LOCKSS includes a Java framework to support plugin writers.
====Functional notes====
The LOCKSS system requires certain publisher-specific knowledge and code for each publication. This information is contained in a “plugin” module, which can be written and supplied by publishers, the community, or LOCKSS staff, and is then pushed out to libraries subscribing to those journals.
Libraries must have active subscriptions to collect content; as of 2009 the average replication factor in the public LOCKSS network is approximately 40.
Users can set up automatic Linux upgrades.
====Documentation and user support====
LOCKSS has excellent documentation through its website, including an [http://www.lockss.org/locksswp/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/LOCKSS-Linux-Install1.pdf Installation Guide], and an OpenBSD to Linux [http://www.lockss.org/locksswp/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/LOCKSS-Network-Data-Transition.pdf Conversion Guide]. LOCKSS Alliance members receive technical and collections support from the Stanford University LOCKSS team; non-members to not receive direct user support.
====Usability====
Installation and configuration are non-trivial, but LOCKSS offers a customised Linux installation CD (the LOCKSS Net Install CD) that details the process.
The administrative interface is an extremely simple GUI, and content access occurs through the institution’s current web interface.
====Expertise required====
Installation and maintenance require solid knowledge of systems administration, particularly for Linux. Administratively, users must have sound collections policies and familiarity with licensing agreements.
====Standards compliance====
LOCKSS advertises itself as providing an OAIS-compliant infrastructure.
====Influence and take-up====
As of 2010, the LOCKSS Alliance had approximately 200 members. However, the software has had nearly 3900 downloads from the Sourceforge site.
In addition, the website lists a number of examples of organisations housing Private LOCKSS Networks (PLNs), including Data PASS (Data Preservation Alliance for the Social Sciences), Digital Commons of Berkeley Electronic Press, and the Alabama Digital Preservation Network.

|homepage=http://www.preservaciondigital.es
|function=Preservation System

}}
{{Infobox tool details}}




== Description ==

LIBSAFE Advanced allows the organizations to create a full OAIS aligned Archive, including active and passive digital preservation workflows and is particularly suited for master image files of digitizing processes. It's used by large institutions like the British Library, the National Library of Spain or the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum but also by smaller organizations like universities or hospitals.

It allows to manage high volume data archives with ease, having deployments of 6PB in size.

More information: https://www.libnova.com

Key features and benefits:
* Easy to use web interface
* Integrated catalog
* Full preservation lifecycle management
* Object versioning
* Powerful metadata engine (versioning of the metadata, unique metadata and mandatory metatadata) over any schema. Full METS and PREMIS aligment. Allows creating new schemas and migrating one to another. Allows sync to other tools. Fully configurable metadata schemas.
* REST API for ingestion, catalog search and object retrieve.
* Works with any SMB, NFS or Object based storage.
* Microservices: It's possible to expand various functions easily with plug-ins.
* Linear scalability: It is possible to scale the platform to achieve any needed performance.

=== Detailed description ===
The OAIS submission agreement concept maps over a "Preservation area" on libsafe, that defines all the preservation policy to apply:

* Sanitizing policy (deleting temp files, etc)
* Preprocessing: new formats generation for files (doc > pdf, ARC > WARC, etc) or metadata pre-processing.
* Checking: fixity checking (antivirus, files and folders names, jhove validation, file size, etc). Each check can be enabled, disabled or let the system choose using a regex expression.
* Exploring: How metadata should be extracted.
* Dissemination: how many copies and in wich "storage pools" should the information be stored. libsafe does not destroy the folder/file structure or filenames.
* Auditing policy: How often the object should be audited by the system in background.

The whole system is "job" based. Every process is a job (ingestion job, auditing job, migration job, etc).

It implements full OAIS framework including:

==== Ingestion ====
* DirectSIP - Create a SIP with the browser from a set of folders (one folder > one object) or ingest SIP.

* Preprocessing: launches selected plugings over the content. A preprocessor is a plugin (essentialy a .exe file) that makes any changes on a object. Most common preprocessors can be preloaded souch as ImageMagik, FFMPEG, GhostScript, inkscape and others, but it's easy to extend the functionality.

* Checking: A check verifies something about the object, it's files or it's metadata. A check is a plugin (essentialy a .exe file) that is launched against any elemment (object, any file, etc) if it matches a regex or extension (for ex: *.TIF) and verifies something about it, returning a "OK" or "ERROR". libsafe has about 40 checks (jhove validation, file size, file numbers, etc) bu adding more is very easy. If a check fails the ingestion job stops and the system returns the control to the user to correct the problems and re-launch the job.

* Exploring: Extracts (from XML, CSV, text file or quering other system) and generates metadata (using DROID for instance) and loads it to the catalog. libsafe can load METS files, but reading metadata from custom XML file is easy using XSLT file. It's possible to use conversion or generation plug-ins here also (for instance, quering a OAI-PMH server using the folder name of the object).

* Dissemination: Storage Groups contain Storage Volumnes (mountpoints). Based on the Preservation Area storage policy, libsafe selects the Storage Volumes to store the object. and starts coping them. libsafe stores the path and the hash to each file. In this part of the object, security XML files are also created, containing all the metadata, events, other locations of each file, etc.

* Auditing: Inmediatly after finishing the object copy, libsafe scans again all the object files hasing them again and comparing the hash between the database stored hash, the ingestion job temp files hash, security XML hash and the real files hash on every copy. If the audit job is finished with a OK result, all objects are considered preserved.

==== Data Management ====
* Bulk transforms: Allows massive metadata schema changes (DC > Marc21 for instance), but it's possible to evolve to any schema defining a crosswalk.

* API for metadata versionig: It's possible to edit the objects metadata using an API. Previous versions of the metadata sets are always preserved. It's not really editing, it's versioning.

==== Access ====
* Catalog: It's possible to search for any metadata of the object, locate it and visualize it's details, including:
** Object creation details (when, who, etc)
** Metadata details
** Object previuos versions
** Object files and folders hierarchy, being able to download the files or the full object in a AIP.
** Active preservation
*** Risks
*** File formats used and risks (using PRONOM among others)
*** Metadata formats
** Passive preservation
** Auditing results
** Storage details (where it's this object stored)
** Object events (creation, access, transformation, etc)

It's also posible to query the system using the API and to retrieve files or complete objects using a RESTful API call.

==== Administration ====
Reports: various reports including collection wide.
Users: create, set roles, etc.
Settings: Change system settings, submission agreements, etc.

==== Active preservation ====
Including options to evolve not only file formats but also metadata schemas.

{{Infobox tool details}}
= Description =
[http://www.labtrove.org LabTrove] is a blogging platform specifically designed for use in a research environment. It aims to serve as a highly flexible electronic notebook and data management system by integrating with a lab’s data-producing instruments; researchers can describe an experiment and associate it with its data output at the time of capture, rather than annotating after the fact.
====Provider====
University of Southampton
====Licensing and cost====
The software is distributed under the [http://www.opensource.org/licenses/BSD-3-Clause 3-Clause BSD Licence] and is free of charge.
====Development activity====
LabTrove Version 2.3 was released in February 2013.
The software was part of the larger [http://www.dcc.ac.uk/projects/srf Smart Research Framework (SRF)] project, which developed it to make it suitable for provision as a cloud-based service.
====Platform and interoperability====
LabTrove is intended for use as a Web service rather than as a desktop application. It was developed for Linux systems; installation instructions are for Debian, but the application has been tested successfully with Ubuntu Server 12.04 LTS. The project offers an all-in-one download bundle that includes the required software Apache Web Server and MySQL. Alternately, users may manually install the prerequisites, or obtain a preconfigured Virtual Machine image.
LabTrove templates can be shared using [http://www.dcc.ac.uk/resource/external/myexperiment myExperiment]. The system links with the MIT Simile projects to provide pivoted TimeLine and Exhibit views.
Integration with some lab instruments is possible through LabBroker, a middleware component also being developed as part of the SRF project.
====Functional notes====
LabTrove uses a plug-in based architecture, allowing researchers to adapt the system to their particular lab setup. The system uses a complex metadata framework for classification; however, it does not support existing external vocabularies or data models.
LabTrove posts cannot be deleted; the software instead implements a strict versioning system. Lab members can provide input through comments and by linking blog entries together. A template option allows users to create standardised blog posts. LabTrove exports posts in XML or as a PNG image.
====Documentation and user support ====
LabTrove has online [http://www.labtrove.org/documentation/ documentation] in the form of a wiki. (An [http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/labtrove older version] of the wiki can be found on Sourceforge.)

= Description =
The Keeping Research Data Safe (KRDS) [http://beagrie.com/krds-i2s2.php Benefits Analysis Toolkit] guides users through a process of identifying, assessing, and communicating the benefits from investing resources in the curation and long-term preservation of research data. It is comprised of two tools: the KRDS Benefits Framework, which helps users identify and articulate potential benefits from a project or activity; and the Value-chain and Benefits Impact tool, which helps identify quantitative metrics and qualitative indicators for the impact of benefits.
====Provider====
Charles Beagrie Ltd., as part of the Keeping Research Data Safe (KRDS) / Infrastructure for Integration in Structural Sciences (I2S2) projects
====Licensing and cost====
[http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/2.0/uk/ Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 2.0 UK: England & Wales] License – free.
====Development activity====
The toolkit was released in July 2011.
The KRDS/I2S2 project was funded from February through July 2011.  Applications of the toolkit have been published (see below under 'influence and takeup'). No further development appears to be supported.
====Platform and interoperability====
The Benefits Framework tool is offered as a Microsoft Word 97-2003 or Open Office Text document.  The Value Chain and Benefits Impact tool is offered as a Microsoft Excel 97-2003 workbook or an Open Office spreadsheet.
====Functional notes====
The Benefits Framework offers a list of generic benefits that can serve as a starting point for an organisation’s brainstorming. It creates a structure within which to place the benefits, based on three dimensions: the outcome achieved (direct or indirect); when the outcome is achieved (near-term or long-term); and who benefits from the outcome (internal or external).
The Value Chain and Benefit Impact worksheet then asks the user to identify potential measures or illustrations of the value and impact of those benefits. If the user so desires, they can add the research data lifecycle phases described in another project deliverable: the KRDS1 Activity Model. This is intended to place benefits and their impact into a context of related activities and to see and evaluate a value-chain.
====Documentation and user support  ====
The project offers extensive documentation, with detailed guides for the [http://www.beagrie.com/KRDS_BenefitsFramework_Guidev3_July%202011.pdf Benefits Framework] and [http://www.beagrie.com/KRDS_ValueChainImpactTool_Guide_v1July2011.pdf Value Chain Impact Tool]. In-depth explanations of the [http://www.beagrie.com/KeepingResearchDataSafe_UserGuide_v2.pdf Keeping Research Data Safe project] and the [http://www.beagrie.com/intro_benefits%20analysis%20toolkit_0711.pdf Toolkit] are also available. The site links to a number of examples of completed worksheets from a number of project partners, including the Archaeology Data Service and the UK Data Archive.
====Usability====
Both tools are extremely straightforward. The Value Chain and Benefits Impact tool, in particular, integrates help text and definitions for components and terms into the header cells.
====Expertise required====
Users must have in-depth knowledge of their organisation’s needs and priorities.  The project recommends that users be familiar with other KRDS Outputs such as the KRDS Activity Model, and similar assessments of value and impact.
====Standards compliance====
The KRDS User Guide states that KRDS is compatible with the UK University’s Transparent Approach to Costing (TRAC).
====Influence and take-up====
The benefits framework was applied during 2012 in various UK institutions through projects funded under the JISC Managing Research Data programme.

{{Infobox tool details}}

= Description =

The KOST-Val application is used to validate {{Format|TIFF}}, {{Format|SIARD}}, {{Format|PDF}}/A, {{Format|JP2}}, {{Format|JPEG}} files and Submission Information Package (SIP).

KOST-Val supersedes the format validation tools [[SIARD-VAL]], [[TIFF-Val]] and SIP-Val by KOST-CECO.

=== Functional Principle ===
KOST-Val complies with the following requirements.

* '''TIFF validation:''' KOST-Val reads a TIFF file and uses [[JHOVE (Harvard Object Validation Environment)| JHOVE]] to validate the structure, the content, and [[ExifTool|ExifTool]] to validate the key properties such as compression, colour space, and multipage. These properties can be configured.
* '''SIARD validation:''' KOST-Val reads a SIARD (eCH-0165 v1 and v2-2017) file and validates the structure and the content.
* '''PDF/A validation:''' KOST-Val reads a PDF or PDF/A file (ISO 19005-1 and 19005-2) and uses [[3-Heights(TM) PDF Validator|3-Heights™ PDF/A Validator]] by PDF-Tools or [[PdfaPilot|pdfaPilot]] by callas to validate the structure and the content of the PDF file. KOST-Val organises the different error messages into main categories such as fonts, graphics, and metadata. KOST-Val supplies only a limited version from 3-Heights™ PDF/A Validator by PDF-Tools and pdfaPilot by callas. Module J extracts (with [[IText|iText]]) and validates the JPEG and JP2 images contained in the PDF file (depending on the configuration). It is also possible to configure whether the JBIG2 compression is accepted or not.
* '''JP2 validation:''' KOST-Val reads a JP2 file (ISO 15444) and uses [[Jpylyzer]] to validate the structure and the content.
* '''JPEG validation:''' KOST-Val reads a JPEG file (ISO 10918-1) and uses [[Bad Peggy]] to validate the structure and the content.
* '''SIP validation:''' KOST-Val reads an SIP (eCH-0160 v1 and v1.1 ) and validates the mandatory requirements of the SIP specification. The validated requirements are organised into groups such as folder structure, schema validation, and checksum validation. At the outset, a file format validation is performed.

The results (including information on inconsistencies and errors) are output for every step and written into a validation log.
The validation steps are executed sequentially. Whenever possible the validation shall continue after an error has been detected in order to reduce the number of correction cycles.

=== Third-party applications ===
KOST-Val uses unmodified components of other manufacturers by embedding them directly into the source code. Users of KOST-Val are requested to adhere to these components ‘terms of licence.

* The TIFF validation module uses [[JHOVE (Harvard Object Validation Environment)| JHOVE]] and [[ExifTool|ExifTool]] and evaluates its output further.
* For the PDF/A validation module [[PdfaPilot|pdfaPilot]] or [[3-Heights(TM) PDF Validator|3-Heights™ PDF/A Validator]] are used.
* The JP2 validation module uses [[Jpylyzer]] and translates the failed tests into appropriate error messages (DE/FR/EN).
* The JPEG validation module uses [[Bad Peggy]] and evaluates the error message "Not a JPEG file" further.
* To extract the JPEG and JP2 images from PDF/A the [[IText|iText library]] is used.
* For the file format identification [[DROID_(Digital_Record_Object_Identification)|DROID]] is used. For performance and granularity reasons an own SignatureFile is used instead of the official PRONOM registry.

=== SIARD format ===
SIARD stands for Software Independent Archiving of Relational Databases. Originally the Swiss Federal Archives (SFA) have developed the SIARD format as a sustainable solution for the archiving of relations databases.

In early 2013 SIARD format has been adopted as an eCH Standard (eCH-0165: SIARD format specification https://www.ech.ch/ech/ech-0165).

eCH is the Swiss organization for standardization in the field of e-government. eCH Standards define guidelines for recurring applications and their results, as for example format definitions or procedural standards. The aim of those standards is to unify and thus facilitate the electronic collaboration between authorities as well as between authorities and organizations, educational and research institutions, firms and private organizations.

This project is a JPEG 2000 encoder/decoder written in pure Java. Its goal is to be a reference implementation of (at least) part 1 of the JPEG 2000 specification.

The code here originally came from version 5.1 of JJ2000 as downloaded from this website: [http://jpeg2000.epfl.ch/]. However, that code is incomplete, has bugs, has performance issues, and has memory-usage issues. So a Google Code project was created so that modifications and improvements could be made.

}}
{{Infobox tool details
|ohloh_id=JHOVE2
}}
= Description =
[https://bitbucket.org/jhove2/main/wiki/Home JHOVE2] is a follow-on to the Harvard/JSTOR [[JHOVE (Harvard Object Validation Environment)| JHOVE]] project, with the similar purpose of allowing data curators to characterise the digital objects in their repositories.  Characterisation is comprised of four elements: first, identifying the object’s format; second, validating that the object conforms to its format’s technical norms; third, extracting technical metadata from the object; and fourth, assessing whether the object should be accepted into a repository, based on policies set by the curator.  
The software was designed to be able to integrate with other applications to enable easy incorporation into a repository’s Ingest workflow.
====Provider====
California Digital Library, Portico, and Stanford University, with funding from the National Digital Information Infrastructure and Preservation Program (NDIIPP). Version 2.1 also credits the Bibliothèque nationale de France and Netarkivet.
====Licensing and cost====
Open Source [http://www.linfo.org/bsdlicense.html BSD license] – free.
====Development activity====
JHOVE2 version 2.1 was released in March 2013.
Funding for the JHOVE2 project ended in 2011. The project partners committed to providing self-funded maintenance (but not further development effort) for three years. Their goal was to create an open-source community to guide and foster JHOVE2 technical development, and the involvement of Bibliothèque nationale de France and Netarkivet from version 2.1 signifies some success in this regard.
====Platform and interoperability====
JHOVE2 is written in Java Standard Edition 6, and requires a Java 6 runtime environment.  If the user is hoping to use the SGML validation module, an OpenSP SGML parser is required.
Developers wishing to rebuild JHOVE2 from the provided source will need a full Java SE 6 development kit and the Apache Maven project tool.
====Functional notes====
The JHOVE2 project came about as a response to perceived shortcomings in the [[JHOVE (Harvard Object Validation Environment)| JHOVE]] software. JHOVE2 separates identification from validation, allowing the software to identify objects even if they are not valid.  This also provides the opportunity to use the [http://www.dcc.ac.uk/resources/external/pronom PRONOM] registry in signature-based identification via integration with [[DROID_(Digital_Record_Object_Identification)|DROID]], creating the ability to identify many more format-types than those for which it has validation modules. Other improvements include the ability to characterize hierarchical digital objects such as directories, zip files and bit streams nested within files, and a design that allows easier integration with other applications.
JHOVE2 has validation modules for the following format types: ICC color profile; SGML; Shapefile; TIFF (including TIFF/EP, TIFF-FX, TIFF/IT, Exif, GeoTIFF, DNG and RFC 1314); UTF-8 encoded text; WAVE (including Broadcast Wave); XML; ZIP; GZIP; ARC; WARC; and arbitrary bytestreams, filesets and directories. Modules for JPEG 2000 (JP2 and JPX profiles) and PDF (including PDF/X and PDF/A) were planned but have not been implemented yet.  
For comparison, ICC, SGML, Shapefile, ZIP, GZIP, ARC and WARC are newly supported in JHOVE2; however, JHOVE supports AIFF, GIF, JPEG, JPEG2000 and PDF while JHOVE2 does not.  HTML is also not supported in JHOVE2, as it is in JHOVE, but since HTML can be expressed in terms of SGML or XML the functionality remains the same. 
====Documentation and user support====
JHOVE2’s website includes an informative FAQ introduction, as well as standard documentation such as a [https://bytebucket.org/jhove2/main/wiki/documents/JHOVE2-Users-Guide_20110222.pdf user guide] and [https://bytebucket.org/jhove2/main/wiki/documents/JHOVE2Programmer2-0-0.pdf programmer guide].  
Primary user support is through the jhove2-techtalk-l listserv, which remains active as of June 2013.  In addition, the website includes an issue tracker displaying reported bugs and feature enhancement requests. 
====Usability====
JHOVE2 does not include a GUI, which will be challenging for many users.
The default output (e. g. in xml, txt or json) is very talkative and can contain up to 3500 lines for one TIFF file.
====Expertise required====
Installation requires solid knowledge of command line interfaces and experience with manually editing configuration files. Creation of the assessment policies requires detailed knowledge of digital preservation standards and technologies.  
====Standards compliance====
JHOVE2 uses the PRONOM registry for file identification.  The software includes a stylesheet that can transform JHOVE2 outputs into the METS metadata standard.
====Influence and take-up====
As of July 2013, the website reports approximately 1000 downloads of version 2 and 200 of version 2.1.

= User Experiences =
Please note that JHOVE2 cannot cope with any empty spaces in the command line. Therefor, JHOVE2 has to be stored in a folder which can be typed in without any empty space.

As the output is extremely wordy and contains so much information that it is difficult to tell if a certain TIFF file is valid or not, it might be helpfull to configure the output options. This is possible in the sgml-file. It might proove to be difficult for the average non-SGML-expert to handle the file.

JHOVE (Harvard Object Validation Environment)

2021-04-23T09:18:49Z

JvdNat:

{{Infobox tool
|image=JHOVE.gif
|purpose=JHOVE provides functions to perform format-specific identification, validation, and characterization of digital objects.
|homepage=http://jhove.openpreservation.org/
|license=GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL)
|platforms=JHOVE should be usable on any UNIX, Windows, or OS X platform with an appropriate J2SE installation. It should run on any operating system that supports Java 1.5 and has a directory-based file system.
|function=Validation, Metadata Extraction, File Format Identification, Encryption Detection
}}
{{Infobox tool details
|ohloh_id=JHOVE
}}
== Description ==
[http://jhove.openpreservation.org/ JHOVE] allows data curators to verify the file formats of the digital objects in their repositories. The analysis consists of three functions: identification, which determines the object’s format; validation, which checks whether the object conforms to its format’s technical norms; and characterization, which gives a report of the object’s salient properties.
Detailed information can be found in the DCC [http://www.dcc.ac.uk/webfm_send/109 JHOVE Case Study].

==== Provider ====
[http://openpreservation.org/ Open Preservation Foundation]

==== Licensing and cost ====
[http://www.gnu.org/licenses/lgpl.html GNU Lesser General Public License] – free.

==== Platform and interoperability ====
JHOVE is implemented using Java 2 Standard Edition 5.0 (JDK 1.5). It was designed incorporating an API, which can be used on its own to create compatible tools and applications. Developers wishing to recompile the JHOVE source code will require Apache Ant.

==== Functional notes ====
JHOVE includes modules for the following 12 format types: AIFF; ASCII encoded text; GIF; HTML; JPEG; JPEG2000; PDF; TIFF; UTF-8 encoded text; WAVE; XML; and arbitrary bytestreams. Three of these formats (AIFF, GIF and JPEG) will not be supported by JHOVE2, while a further two (JPEG2000 and PDF) are not currently supported by JHOVE2 but may be in future. HTML is not directly supported by JHOVE2 but can be processed either as SGML or XML.
A number of limitations have come to light since JHOVE was first released, many of which are addressed with the JHOVE2 project. Currently, identification and validation are linked, with successful identification dependent on the validation process.  This means that any trivial error in the validation process can result in an object failing to be identified. In addition, JHOVE cannot analyze objects that are comprised of multiple file formats.
Developers have also remarked that working with the API is difficult.

==== Documentation and user support ====
The JHOVE website includes an excellent introduction and [http://hul.harvard.edu/jhove/using.html tutorial]. It also provides detailed specifications for its modules.
The [http://sourceforge.net/projects/jhove/ SourceForge] code repository includes a forum, which seems to be used only sporadically. It also hosts a mailing list and the usual facilities for filing bug reports, feature requests and support requests.

==== Usability ====
While installation and configuration can be complex, the Swing-based GUI allows for relatively easy use. JHOVE can also be invoked with a command-line interface.

==== Expertise required ====
Installation requires solid knowledge of command line interfaces and experience with manually editing configuration files. Familiarity with metadata outputs is also essential.

==== Standards compliance ====
JHOVE was designed to integrate into the Ingest function of an OAIS. The validation process compares objects’ formats against ISO standards.

==== Influence and take-up ====
The SourceForge website reports approximately 11,400 downloads from the release of JHOVE 1.1 from 2008 to July 2013. Use of JHOVE is widespread in the digital preservation community.
JHOVE is integrated within the Planets Testbed and Plato.

}}
= Description =
Quoted from the iText website: iText is a library that allows you to create and manipulate PDF documents. It enables developers looking to enhance web and other applications with dynamic PDF document generation and/or manipulation.

===Create your PDFs===
If you look at PDF creation, you'll find that graphical designers use desktop applications such as Adobe Acrobat or Adobe InDesign to create a document in a manual or semi-manual process. iText is not such an end-user tool. iText is used to create PDF documents programmatically. Developers write Java or .NET code to produce PDFs directly from software applications, without—or with minimal—human intervention. Sometimes the document is created in an intermediary format first, and then converted to PDF.
Creating documents from scratch

===Adapt your PDFs===
As already mentioned when talking about filling out forms, iText can also manipulate existing PDF documents. Form filling is only one feature. You can also use iText to split, merge, or superimpose PDFs. You can stamp content on existing documents, add page numbers, watermarks, etc. As a rule, PdfStamper is to be used when only one document is involved; PdfCopy and PdfSmartCopy are to be used when there's more than one document.
Encrypt your documents

===Maintain your PDFs===
iText is known to be used in different plug-ins for different content management systems.

===Inspect your PDFs===
You can inspect a PDF document using iText's PdfReader class. This class is also used in iText RUPS. You can ask a document for its number of pages, for the fonts that are used, you can extract field values as well as text.
Fix your PDFs

* [http://arxiv.org/abs/1309.4932 Developing a Robust Migration Workflow for Preserving and Curating Hand-held Media] used IsoBuster as the main tool for disk image recovery.
* This method of recovering data should be used with awareness! It is suitable for data streams that are still useful when random parts are lacking, like video and audio recordings. Other data types easily become distorted and will loose their authenticity!

= Description =
[https://www.irods.org/index.php/IRODS:Data_Grids,_Digital_Libraries,_Persistent_Archives,_and_Real-time_Data_Systems iRODS] software was designed to allow curators utilising heterogeneous storage and computing facilities to define policies without being concerned with the technical detail of how the system implements those policies and without having to respond to changes in technical infrastructure. It was built as a successor to the [http://www.dcc.ac.uk/resources/external/srb DICE Storage Resource Broker (SRB)], which provides a unified interface for dealing with data in disparate locations.  While SRB provides global, logical mappings to the digital entities registered in a shared collection, iRODS takes this further, adding the capacity to create unified administrative policies and processes, which act across all data sources.  The system creates a virtual collection, allowing the user to interact with their stored data without needing to keep track of, or even have ultimate control over, the storage and computing facilities hosting the information.  
====Provider====
The Data Intensive Cyber Environments Center at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and the University of California San Diego
====Licensing and cost====
[http://www.linfo.org/bsdlicense.html BSD License] – free.
====Development Activity====
iRODS 3.3 was released on July 17, 2013.
The Data Intensive Cyberinfrastructure Foundation is a nonprofit 301(c)(3); iRODS development is ongoing. 
====Platform and interoperability====
iRODS is hardware agnostic, and its servers can run on Linux, Solaris, Macintosh, AIX, or Windows.  The iCAT Metadata Catalog requires either PostgreSQL (which is included in the install package), Oracle, or MySQL.
It includes APIs in C, Unix shell, Java, Python, Kepler, Taverna, and Web.  iRODS is interoperable with other data management systems, such as Fedora and Dspace.
====Functional notes====
iRODS uses a data grid architecture, running Server software and a Rule Engine on each server that will become part of the virtual repository. A separate, unique iRODS iCAT Metadata Catalog uses a database to track descriptive and preservation metadata.  Users determine workflows and automated tasks that the Rule Engine carries out regardless of the originating server.
When upgrading from iRODS 2.5 to 3.0, a patch to the iCAT database is required in support of new features.  The 3.0 clients will work properly with a 2.5 server except when a new feature is involved.
====Documentation and user support  ====
iRODS has an extensive [https://www.irods.org/index.php/Documentation wiki], which includes a user guide, an installation guide, and numerous tutorials.  There is an active chat community through the iRODS-Chat google group.  The site also hosts a Bugzilla page.
====Usability====
iRODS provides GUI, Web, WebDAV, and command line interfaces.
====Expertise required====
Installation and configuration greatly benefit from system administration and grid computing knowledge, as well as a deep understanding of repository structures and workflows.
====Standards compliance====
No information available.
====Influence and take-up====
iRODS is widely used in the research community, in high performance computing projects, and in preservation environments and digital libraries.  Examples include the Southern California Earthquake Center (SCEC), the NSF TeraGrid, the National Archives Transcontinental Persistent Archives Prototype (NARA TPAP), and the French National Library.

{{Infobox tool details
|ohloh_id=ImpactStory
}}
= Description =
[http://impactstory.org/ ImpactStory] (previously Total-Impact) allows researchers and organisations to gather a wide range of impact metrics about multiple forms of scholarly output. Users create collections of research objects – articles, data sets, websites, presentations, etc. For each object, the system searches across a number of data sources to collect indications of impact and aggregates the information into a distributable report.

====Provider====
Development began at the 2011 Beyond Impact Workshop and continued with funding from the Open Society Foundation via the Beyond Impact project. Current development is led by Cottage Labs, with help from individuals at the University of North Carolina and Duke University and funding from the Alfred P Sloan Foundation.

====Licensing and cost====
Open-source [http://www.opensource.org/licenses/mit-license.php MIT license] – free.

====Platform and interoperability====
The ImpactStory service is web-based and therefore platform agnostic. For local installations, the project recommends either a clean Ubuntu 10.04 server or a virtualised server using Virtual Box. The code is mainly Python 2.7, with some scripts written in Perl.
Metrics draw from a number of data sources: CrossRef; Mendeley; Slideshare; Dryad; PLoSALM; PLoSsearch; Facebook; CiteULike; Wikipedia; Delicious; PubMed; Topsy; Research Blogging; GitHub; and Sourceforge. The project offers an API for those wishing to incorporate further information sources.

====Functional notes====
The service collects information about multiple data types: published articles via their DOIs, PubMed IDs, or Mendeley UUIDs; data sets through their Dryad DOIs or accession numbers from GenBank, PDB, Gene Expression Omnibus, and ArrayExpress; software through its GitHub or SourceForge URL; slides through their SlideShare URL; and any other output that has a URL.
ImpactStory can currently aggregate over 50 [http://impactstory.org/faq#toc_3_7 metrics] such as the number of Mendeley readers of an article, a presentation’s number of Slideshare downloads, and the number of Facebook users who ‘liked’ a post about the object.
The project acknowledges a number of limitations, arising from the difficulty of deduplicating objects with multiple identifiers, and locating objects via their identifiers. There is a limit to the number of items that can be included in a single report.

====Documentation and user support====
The website offers a [http://impactstory.org/faq FAQ] and links to an [http://altmetrics.org/manifesto/ explanation] of the principles underlying and motivating the service. The project supplies [https://github.com/mhahnel/Total-Impact/wiki/Plugin-requirements documentation] for creating plugins to integrate additional sources of information.
Further user support can be found through an active [https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!forum/total-impact Google Group], a [http://blog.impactstory.org/ blog], and a [https://twitter.com/ImpactStory Twitter a ccount].

====Usability====
ImpactStory uses an extremely simple web interface. Interpreting reports can be challenging; there are a high number of metrics displayed, and as the field of alt-metrics is still in its infancy, a lack of context and comparison leaves the true importance of many of the statistics opaque.

====Expertise required====
Experience with social media is helpful for interpreting the reports.

====Standards compliance====
ImpactStory relies on resource identification standards for compiling their reports. The DOI system is currently the most widely used, but a lack of standards is one of the core problems of the endeavour.

====Influence and take-up====
The project Twitter account has over 1500 followers; further information is unavailable.

{{Infobox tool
|image=ImageMagick.jpg
|purpose=ImageMagick® is a software suite to create, edit, compose, or convert bitmap images.

|license=Apache License v2.0
|platforms=should run under any operating system
|function=Rendering, File Format Migration
|content=Image
}}
{{Infobox tool details
|ohloh_id=ImageMagick
}}
= Description =
ImageMagick® is a software suite to create, edit, compose, or convert bitmap images. It can read and write images in a variety of formats (over 100) including DPX, EXR, GIF, JPEG, JPEG-2000, PDF, PNG, Postscript, SVG, and TIFF.
Can be used as a migration tool for bitmap images.

=== Functionality ===
The functionality of ImageMagick is typically utilized from the command line or you can use the features from programs written in your favorite language. C

An example for a command is:

magick convert original.JPG migration.png

This converts a certain jpeg to a png file. For this command to work the console has to be opened in the folder the jpeg ("original.JPG") is saved in.

Another example:

magick -verbose identify examine.jpg >test.txt

This gives as many information as possible about "examine.jpg" and saves it in a Textfile ("test.txt"). It is also possible to do this with whole folders by building a script.

=== License ===
ImageMagick is free software delivered as a ready-to-run binary distribution or as source code that you may use, copy, modify, and distribute in both open and proprietary applications. It is distributed under the Apache 2.0 license, approved by the OSI and recommended for use by the OSSCC.

=== Download ===
The current release is available from http://www.imagemagick.org/download.

= User Experiences =
Used in Planets as a migration tool for Tiff format files.

A German speaking guide to develop batch-programs for ImageMagick can be found in the nestor wiki from https://wiki.dnb.de/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=123046041.

= Description =
[http://ica-atom.org/ ICA-AtoM] allows organisations to create standards-based descriptions of their archival holdings and subsequently publish them to the Web.  It was designed to support a wide variety of repository and collection types, providing multi-lingual interfaces and supporting multi-repository implementations.
====Provider====
Managed by Artefactual Systems on behalf of the International Council on Archives
====Licensing and cost====
[http://www.gnu.org/licenses/agpl.html AGPL] – free.
====Development activity====
Version 1.3.2 was released in January 2015. ICA-AtoM was superceded by AtoM 2.0.0 [https://www.accesstomemory.org/], initially released in October 2013, and version 2.5.0 was released in May 2019. [https://www.accesstomemory.org/en/download/] Since the 2.0.0 release, Artefactual, lead developers of ICA-AtoM, have shifted the focus of their development to AtoM 2, and ICA-AtoM is no longer being actively maintained or developed. Legacy ICA-AtoM users can upgrade directly to AtoM 2.x releases following the same upgrade instructions [https://www.accesstomemory.org/docs/latest/admin-manual/installation/upgrading/].

The project advertises funding from a wide variety of sources, including the ICA, UNESCO, the World Bank, and several national archives.

====Platform and interoperability====
ICA-AtoM is a web-based application written in PHP5 using the symfony framework, qubit toolkit, and the Propel object-relation mapping (ORM) framework. The system requires a webserver and database server as well as PHP 5.3 or higher with Multibyte String extension; it recommends Apache webserver and MySQL database engine with PDO extension. Use of a wide range of SQL databases is 'theoretically' possible though not supported (see [https://www.ica-atom.org/doc/Minimum_requirements minimum requirements]).
The software will run in Linux, Mac OS X 10.5 and higher, and Windows; for Windows users the project recommends WAMPServer or XAMPP to configure the system if the required software is not in place.
====Functional notes====
ICA-AtoM creates HTML pages for each item in the repository, serving them to web browsers upon request.  The descriptive records at the heart of the application are stored in a database on the server you have the software installed on.  PHP software code manages requests and responses between the web clients, the application logic, and the application content stored in the database.
The project developed the Qubit Open Information Management Toolkit, based on a symfony framework, to organise the component parts using object orientation and best practice web design patterns.
ICA-AtoM uses the Zend Lucene search engine and ranks search results based on where the search term appears in the record. The interface is available in Dutch, French, Spanish, Slovenian and Polish.
====Documentation and user support====
ICA-Atom provides excellent [http://ica-atom.org/doc/Main_Page documentation], including a user manual, tutorials, a demonstrator download, and a glossary.  The site also links to an extremely active Google discussion group.
====Usability====
The software uses a simple web-based interface, and includes an installer that will check the system and report back if the user needs to upgrade any of the server's technical requirements.
====Expertise required====
Users must have archival accessioning skills, including solid knowledge of metadata standards.
====Standards compliance====
The software is designed around the International Council on Archives’ descriptive standards, including ISAD(G), ISAAR(CPF), ISDIAH, and ISDF.  It is also possible to configure the tool to implement the Dublin Core, EAD, EAC, SKOS, and MODS standards. Rights metadata elements are based on PREMIS.
ICA-AtoM supports OAI-PMH.
====Influence and take-up====
As of October 2012 there were approx 250 institutions running ICA-AtoM; examples include UNESCO, the Montreal Neurological Institute, and the Digital Archive of Research on Thailand. A [http://ica-atom.org/doc/ICA-AtoM_users list of implementation examples ]can be found on the site. 
The ICA-AtoM discussion group has over 250 members as of April 2012.
