h2. Description
JHOVE provides functions to perform format-specific identification, validation, and characterization of digital objects.
Potential use cases for JHOVE include:
# Identification
## "I have an object; what format is it?"
# Validation
## "I have an object that purports to of format _F_; is it?"
## "I have an object of format _F_; does it meet profile _P_ of _F_?"
## "I have an object of format _F_ and external metadata about _F_ in schema _S_; are they consistent?"
# Characterization
## "I have an object of format _F_; what are its salient properties (given in schema _S_)?"
Extracts properties from files and attempts to validate against format spec. Supports AIFF ASCII GIF HTML JPEG JPEG2000 PDF TIFF UTF-8 WAVE XML.
