= Description =
 
<!-- Describe the what the tool does, focusing on it's digital preservation value. 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.

<!-- Add hotlinks to user experiences with the tool (eg. blog posts). These should illustrate the effectiveness (or otherwise) of the tool. Use a bullet list. -->* '''ZBW:'''
 
** KOST-Val v1.6.0
 
** The tool is very easy to install and to handle.
 
** The output in xml-Format (open in a browser to have a table) is easy to understand
 
** Running the JPEG-Module against almost 2,400 JPEGs has only lasted 7 minutes
 
** The tool recognises fake-JPEGs (jpeg-extension, but no jpeg inside) and issues with jpegs and can differentiate easily between these two cases.
