What information is in a file format identification report?

by @beet_keeper

In early 2022, I was finally able to get around to writing a paper that I had been thinking about for the better part of a decade. The paper, “Fractal in Detail: What Information Is in a File Format Identification Report?” was published in the Code4Lib journal Issue 53.

The paper takes a deep dive into the fractal contents of file format identification reports exported from tools like Siegfried and DROID.

Let’s take a brief look the article and its contents below.

SUPER excited to announce a new fdd, FIRST ONE ever from Liz Caringola, on PAR (Parity Volume Set File Format Family - fdd634). We/Liz even submitted for the #PUID in #PRONOM and we'll do this as part of our workflow from now on. This format was a popular discussion topic with lots of community input. Comments always welcome but mostly if they say Go Liz! Great job! Woot! https://www.loc.gov/preservation/digital/formats/fdd/fdd000634.shtml #digipres #fileformats
