The online registry of technical information. PRONOM is a resource for anyone requiring impartial and definitive information about the file formats, software products and other technical components required to support long-term access to electronic records and other digital objects of cultural, historical or business value.
DROID is a software tool developed by The National Archives to perform automated batch identification of file formats. Developed by its Digital Preservation Department as part of its broader digital preservation activities, DROID is designed to meet the fundamental requirement of any digital repository to be able to identify the precise format of all stored digital objects, and to link that identification to a central registry of technical information about that format and its dependencies.
"What we need is a tool that helps us discover, contextualize, and discuss scholarship, not just see how many times it has been cited or how influential a given journal may be. The need to contextualize and interrogate research is far more important than the ability to generate bibliographies or find the most popular articles"
" This is where Bibliopedia comes in. Bibliopedia provides an infrastructure for advanced data-mining and cross-referencing of scholarly literature to create a humanities-centered collaboration and research discovery platform"
