Description[edit]

The PERICLES Extraction Tool (PET) is an open source (Apache 2 licensed) Java software for the extraction of significant information from the environment where digital objects are created and modified. This information supports object use and reuse, e.g. for a better long-term preservation of data. For the main part of the metadata extraction PET uses Apache TIKA and some other moduls which are:

  • CPU specification snapshot
  • CPU usage monitoring
  • Calculate file checksum
  • Create custom executable command (file dependent)
  • Create custom executable command (file independent)
  • Directory Monitor Module
  • FQDN
  • File identification
  • File store information (java.nio.file)
  • File store information (sigar)
  • File system information snapshot
  • Google chrome opened tabs monitoring
  • Graphic System properties snapshot
  • Graphic card information module
  • Installed software snapshot
  • Java installation information snapshot
  • LSOF use monitor
  • List of network interfaces
  • Log expression grep
  • MediaInfo
  • Memory monitoring
  • Network information
  • OS X Spotlight Command module
  • Office document dependencies
  • Operating System properties snapshot
  • PDF Font dependencies
  • Posix file information monitoring
  • Process parameter
  • Process statistics monitoring
  • Regex text search
  • Screenshot module
  • System resources snapshot
  • System swap monitoring
  • TCP statistics monitoring
  • Uptime
  • Who (user, host, device, time)
  • Windows Handle monitoring daemon
  • XML xPath expression

The Tool was developed entirely for the PERICLES EU project http://www.pericles-project.eu/ by Fabio Corubolo, University of Liverpool, and Anna Eggers, Göttingen State and University Library.

A more detailed description can be found in this blog post.

User Experiences[edit]

  • User Wittmann: PET is a easy to use and easy to install tool, which does all thing which are promised. The user interface is self explanatory and the programm runs fast. But the neccessary informations for long time storage are given by Apache TIKA. If the other moduls of PET not expressly needed, then it is better and faster to use Apache TIKA directly instead of the PERICLES Extraction Tool.

Development Activity[edit]
