KOST-Val
Description
The KOST-Val application is used to validate Template:Format, Template:Format, Template:Format/A, Template:Format files and Submission Information Package (SIP).
KOST-Val supersedes the format validation tools SIARD-VAL, TIFF-Val and SIP-Val by KOST-CECO.
SIARD format
SIARD stands for Software Independent Archiving of Relational Databases. Originally the Swiss Federal Archives (SFA) have developed the SIARD format as a sustainable solution for the archiving of relations databases.
In early 2013 SIARD format has been adopted as an eCH Standard (eCH-0165: SIARD format specification http://www.ech.ch/vechweb/page?p=dossier&documentNumber=eCH-0165).
eCH is the Swiss organization for standardization in the field of e-government. 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 uses JHOVE and evaluates its output further.
For the PDF/A validation module PDF-A Manager or 3-Heights(TM) PDF Validator are used.
For the JP2 validation module Jpylyzer is used.
For the file format identification DROID is used. For performance and granularity reasons an own SignatureFile is used instead of the official PRONOM registry.
