*** Apologies for cross-posting *** JHOVE2 2009 Fall Workshop Wednesday morning, October 7, 2009 -- 9:00am-1:00pm (09:00-13:00) PDT Mission Bay Conference Center, San Francisco Register at <http://jhove2.eventbrite.com/> The JHOVE2 project team is organizing a free public half-day workshop held in conjunction with the 2009 iPRES conference at the San Francisco Mission Bay Conference Center. The JHOVE2 project <http://confluence.ucop.edu/display/JHOVE2Info/Home>, a collaborative effort of the California Digital Library (CDL), Portico, and Stanford University, is a two year initiative funded by the Library of Congress as part of its National Information Infrastructure Preservation Program (NDIIPP) to develop a next-generation application and framework for format-aware characterization. The project seeks to build on the success of the original JHOVE characterization tool by addressing known limitations and offering significant new function. These enhancements include: * Streamlined APIs - Increased modularization - Common module design patterns * Object, rather than file, focused characterization - Support for arbitrarily-nested container formats and formats instantiated across multiple files * Signature-based identification * Rules-based assessment - Support for determinations of acceptability in addition to validation conformity * User configuration of modules, characterization strategies, and formatted results * Performance improvements The JHOVE2 workshop will be held on the Wednesday morning following the conclusion of the iPRES conference. Members of the project team will present on: * The role of characterization in digital curation and preservation workflows * An overview of the JHOVE2 project * Demonstration of the prototype JHOVE2 framework * Architectural review of the JHOVE2 application and Java APIs * Integration of JHOVE2 technology into existing or planned systems and services * Third-party development of conformant JHOVE2 modules Although the workshop is free, registration is required and participation is limited to 70 people.
