Progress with FITS for analyzing video

This document summarizes progress made on the File Information Tool Set (FITS) for analyzing video files, including: 1) FITS is being enhanced to better support video file characterization by assessing current metadata support, identifying essential video metadata, implementing support for additional metadata, and testing the changes. 2) A hackathon was held to further develop FITS and related tools like C3PO, focusing on risk identification in PDFs, file format identification, and integrating Apache Tika. 3) Funding was awarded to continue integrating Tika into FITS, update dependent tools, improve video metadata support, and address performance issues. Feedback on video metadata needs is requested.

Hackathon: Leeds UK, March 12th 2013 • Hackathon focusing on characterisation of digital objects • Organised by SPRUCE Project • Funded by Jisc (UK) • Included key people behind JHOVE, JHOVE2, FITS, DROID, C3PO, FIDO and more...
Hackathon: Leeds UK, March 12th 2013 • Developments focused on 4 key areas: –Long term risk identification in PDF files –Consolidating file format identification magic –Adding support for Apache Tika to FITS –Adding support for Apache Tika to C3PO
FITS: File Information Tool Set “The File Information Tool Set (FITS) identifies, validates, and extracts technical metadata for various file formats. It wraps several third-party open source tools, normalizes and consolidates their output, and reports any errors. FITS was created by the Harvard University Library Office for Information Systems for use in its Digital Repository Service (DRS).” • JHOVE • Exiftool • NLNZ metadata extractor • DROID • FFIdent • File • Apache Tika Combines/normalises the output
C3PO: FITS data output visualization tool http://ifs.tuwien.ac.at/imp/c3po
SPRUCE funding awards Funding awards of £5000 for C3PO and for FITS FITS work is already half way through... • Fully incorporate Tika into FITS • Bring JHOVE and DROID tools up to latest versions • Enhance video metadata model • Improve documentation • Identify and fix performance issues
Enhance video metadata model Current support for video metadata in FITS is quite poor Development effort available to: • Assess current situation and collate user feedback • Identify core metadata essential to support • Implement, adding additional tools to FITS if necessary • Test and evaluate Please contribute feedback to: http://fileformats.wordpress.com/2013/04/11/video-md/ Please try out the finished tool in ~3 weeks time and give us some feedback! https://github.com/gmcgath/fits-mcgath
