Re: [CODE4LIB] Checksums for objects and not embedded metadata

2015-01-28 Thread Ronald Houk
Hello, I like Danielle's idea. I wonder if it wouldn't be a good idea to decouple the metadata from the data permanently. Exiftool allows you to export the metadata in lots of different formats like JSON. You could export the metadata into JSON, run the checksums and then store the photo and

Kyle, It's a bit of a hack, but you could write a script to delete all the metadata from images with ExifTool and then run checksums on the resulting image (see http://u88.n24.queensu.ca/exiftool/forum/index.php?topic=4902.0). exiv2 might also work. I don't think you'd want to do that every time

Kyle, I think I can answer your question, but I would need to know a little bit more about what you're doing before attempting to help: how are you packaging up your objects, how are you storing the content, and how are you generating checksums. Even more specific than that: - How is your

2015-01-23 Thread Kyle Banerjee
Howdy all, I've been toying with the idea of embedding DOI's in all our digital assets and possibly inserting/updating other metadata as well. However, doing this would alter checksums created using normal methods. Is there a practical/easy way to checksum only the objects themselves without the
