To my knowledge, Omeka has no way to assist you in monitoring for bitrot.
Actually, I think only dSpace makes this easy - has a ready made module for
running checksums on files and comparing to previous values so you can get
a report of whether any files changed (ie. were corrupted).

What platforms can do this, and what's the status on developing this in a
variety of platforms?  How are people doing this at your institutions?
