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[edit]

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.

User Experiences[edit]

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.
