Title
Disassociation of files and metadata
Detailed description Each digitised page on the website must have a tif file, a htm file and a pdf file (plus other derivatives such as jpegs). These must all match each other (i.e. represent the same single page) and the Access DB metadata.

  • Can a tool be used or made to provide an inventory of pdf and htm files (using Windows Professional 7) which can be in Excel format and then added to the speadsheet above?
  • So there will be htm and pdf numbers in two columns which can be automatically checked against the tif number to flag up any missing files, duplicate or extra files.

Possible Solution approaches
  • are there any existing tools to do these tasks?
  • using Visual Basic to compare file names.
Context This would help the Digital Team deliver a more complete and accurate digital collection and will be of use to others who are involved in bulk file management and OCR management.
