The KOST-Val application is used to validate different file formats and Submission Information Package (SIP).
+
The KOST-Val application is used for validate TIFF, SIARD and PDF/A-Files.
−
 
 
−
KOST-Val supersedes the format validation tools [[SIARD-VAL]], [[TIFF-Val]] and SIP-Val by KOST-CECO.
 
 
   
 
   
 +
KOST-Val replaces [[SIARD-VAL]] and TIFF-Val from the KOST-CECO organization.

=== Functional Principle ===
+
−
KOST-Val complies with the following requirements.
+
====SIARD format====
 +
SIARD stands for Software Independent Archiving of Relational Databases. The Swiss Federal Archives (SFA) have developed the SIARD format as a sustainable solution for the archiving of relations databases.
 +
SIARD Format is based on internationally recognized standards such as XML, SQL:1999 and UNICODE.
 +
 +
Moreover, in early 2013 SIARD format has been adopted as eCH-Standard (eCH-0165: SIARD format specification http://www.ech.ch/vechweb/page?p=dossier&documentNumber=eCH-0165).
 +
 
 +
eCH-Standards define guidelines for recurring applications and their results, as for example format definitions or procedural standards. The aim of those standards is to unify and thus facilitate the electronic collaboration between authorities as well as between authorities and organizations, educational and research institutions, firms and private organizations.
 +
 +
 +
====third-party applications====
 +
The TIFF validation module use [[JHOVE (Harvard Object Validation Environment)]] and evaluates them further.
  
−

+
For the PDF/A validation module [[PDFTron PDF-A Manager]] must be installed.
  
−
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.
+

** 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.
