== Description ==  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 [http://www.openplanetsfoundation.org/blogs/2014-09-27-siegfried-pronom-based-file-format-identification-tool this blog post]. Besides, there is a more detailed description in terms of functionality on the [https://github.com/richardlehane/siegfried Github Page of Siegfried]. Siegfried was first publicly released the 28th february 2014 in version 0.1. == User Experiences ==  * '''ZBW:''' ** The command line tool is very easy to handle. <br />The default output is yaml.
