Keep it factual. --> The KOST-Val application is used to validate different file formats 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. https://raw.githubusercontent.com/KOST-CECO/KOST-Val/master/KOST-Val_FuntionalPrincipleFormatValidation.JPG 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. === Read Me & Download === https://raw.githubusercontent.com/KOST-CECO/KOST-Val/master/KOST-Val_README.md This program comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY.
