Description[edit]
Siegried is a file format identification tool that, like DROID and Fido, is based on PRONOM. However, it uses a different pattern matching algorithm that offers different strengths and weaknesses to those other PRONOM based tools. A detailed description of the tool and why it was created can be found in this blog post. Besides, there is a more detailed description in terms of functionality on the Github Page of Siegfried.
Siegfried was first publicly released the 28th february 2014 in version 0.1.
User Experiences[edit]
- ZBW:
- The command line tool is very easy to handle.
The default output is yaml. This can be changed to csv or json.- Usual command: sf file.ext (will output in yaml)
- Change output to csv: sf -csv file.ext
- Change output to json: sf -json file.ext
- It is also possible to save the output in an external file:
- sf file.ext >output.yml
- sf -csv file.ext >output.csv
- sf -json file.ext >output.json
- The command line tool is very easy to handle.
