[Irtalk] Fwd: [Dspace-tech] Filterable document types in DSpace

[Hilton Gibson]

Hi All

Important information about digital document formats can have their content
extracted/filtered by the DSpace software.
It seems the open formats work but not the closed ones like .xlsx and .docx
etc..
See:
http://wiki.lib.sun.ac.za/index.php/SUNScholar/Digitisation/Digital_Formats for
more info.

Cheers

Hi Sue,

the supported formats are documented here (this is for 1.8 because 1.7
didn't have this in docs, but I don't believe it changed between 1.7 and
1.8):

https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSDOC18/Transforming%20DSpace%20Content%20(MediaFilters)

To sum it up, binary MS Office files are filterable (incl. Excel), but not
the Office Open XML (MS Office 2007+) formats (docx, xlsx, pptx). I'm not
really sure about PDF/A since you're explicitly asking about it, but I
don't think it would be any worse than the generic PDF support, i.e. IMHO
it's supported. rtf doesn't seem to be supported.
