a full 24 hours later since i left helsinki for the #OPF 's event, #OAG3 and I'm still not home yet. #digitalpreservation is a more stable sector than uk rail services i can tell ya that for sure

was it worth the trip still, obviously yes

Johan, Judith, Jeffrey, jpylyzer .... so many Js at the KB #OAG3 #OPFAGM

Great presentation right now by @archivist_Liz by the work they did together with @MediaArea on LeaveSD for AV migration. I can only second Elizabeth's praise and awe for the work that @JeromeM does. if you're ever looking for a dev partner for AV - MediaArea should be your number 1 go-to!

ack. had to step out for a bit and missed the verapdf talk. but if the arlington verapdf implementation is what i think it is i would beat jhove pdf validation by miles

Just found out that the new Dutch funded OPF product ViPER (Virtual research environment) is named after the BSG Colonial Vipers. I'm 100% sold! It's an easy-to-install virutal machine running with popular open source preservation tools with GUIs like DROID, HandBrake, JHOVE, ....

What makes presentations so much better than just reading the slides is the side comments "over the course of the last 5 years I've had 3 bosses - and this makes it hard to move projects along". I think that's a shared sentiment in many space.

fascinating presentation by our OPF colleagues at CSC this morning. they talked about their triage process in automatic file format identification and how they tie together different tools for extracting techMD. couldn't type fast enough to report here - will have to add info later. #OAG3

Starting the day with some Finnish culture - „Kiitos!“ Means thanks. Ice hockey it to Finns what soccer is to the rest of Europe. And everybody remembers where they were when Finnland won the world championship. #OAG3 #OPFAGM

... pew. was just asked to answer a question about "advocacy and funding". not my cup of tea. reminds me of why i never wanted to be in a position that contains the words "lead/manager". look where that got me. how do i get out?

jicymi #JHOVE 1.28 was fully released last week. #oag3

Download and info:
https://jhove.openpreservation.org/

Release notes:
https://github.com/openpreserve/jhove/blob/integration/RELEASENOTES.md

conformance levels of #JHOVE (and other validators):

(1) well-formed = meets the purely syntactic requirements (i.e., what's in the standard)

(2) vaild - well-formed and meets the higher-level semantic req (i.e., what's in the schema)

(3) consistent - valid and internally extracted info is consistent with externally supplied information (i.e., what's in your policy)

#oag3

Carl Wilson is now giving an update on #JHOVE starting out with a short background story of the tool. JHOVE "identifies, characterizes and validates file formats". I'm wondering if we should stop claiming that JHOVE identifies file formats .... #OAG3

OPF's Advisory Group now kicking off. Love the fact that there is an alternative agenda item (veraPDF training!) for virtual attendees only during the on-site tour #OAG3
