A practical introduction to five software tools to identify file formats and extract metadata
You will learn how to use five free, open-source tools to identify the format, version, and profile of document files and obtain their metadata. If you're working in library and archive technology, or if you're a student preparing for this career, the course will give you a strong start in using those tools and understanding their strengths and weaknesses. The five central sections each cover one of these tools:
file: A command line tool included in Linux and Unix for simple file identification.
DROID: A batch-oriented tool from the UK National Archives, using the PRONOM format registry.
ExifTool: A metadata extraction tool that recognizes a broad range of formats.
JHOVE: Software developed at the Harvard University Library for careful validation of certain formats. I wrote most of the code for JHOVE.
Apache Tika: Content extraction software which can identify many formats.
For each tool, there's a discussion of how to use it followed by an on-screen demonstration of installing and using it, as well as a downloadable PDF summarizing the material.
You should be comfortable with installing software on your computer. Familiarity with the Unix/Linux command line is strongly recommended. Most, but not all, of the tools described can run on Windows. All will run on a Macintosh or Linux system.
PS : If You got an error while extracting while others are working try diferent directory path in your PC. Somtimes if you got a long directory path while extracting it will giv you an error. To solve this issue , as an example just paste the tgz file in C drive and extract (just inside the C drive not with in any other folder). Hope your Understand
