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? -Wilhelmina Randtke On Thu, Aug 9, 2012 at 1:57 PM, Kaile Zhu <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > How about Omeka?
