Format Validation
Per-Format Validator Confirming Conformance
Per-format validator confirming each file meets the strict requirements of its archival format standard (PDF/A compliance, TIFF/A, etc.).
Purpose
Per-format validator confirming each file meets the strict requirements of its archival format standard (PDF/A compliance, TIFF/A, etc.).
Context
Child of L2-DVT-FMT within the Lunar Ark system
Principles
- ▸Per-format validators (PDF/A, TIFF/A, etc.)
- ▸Validation at write + periodic re-validation
- ▸Non-compliant files flagged for migration
- ▸Verification per JHOVE / DROID heritage
- ▸Long-mission compliance tracking
Typical implementations
- ▸JHOVE / DROID format validators (terrestrial archive)
- ▸Library of Congress format sustainability
- ▸Industrial digital preservation
Lunar considerations
- ▸Long-mission validation against evolving standards
- ▸Authenticated validator updates
- ▸Audit log of validation results
