[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. | [http://jhove.openpreservation.org/ JHOVE] allows data curators to verify the file formats of the digital objects in their repositories.
