In our last update we focused on explain you what kind of improvements and new funcionalities we included in the last version of DPFManager 3.0. This time we will remind you what DPFManager is and what kind of technologies, processes, policies and other issues have made possible the contribution of a new innovation in the digital preservation area.

DPFManager is the most advanced TIFF conformance checker for digital preservation that has been created and designed by a strong community of experts who are highly interested in file format validation for digital preservation. +Read more!

DPF Manager allows archivists to know the state of their TIFF images in terms of preservation. It validates the files with the main standards (Baseline 6, TIFF-EP, TIFF-IT), and additionally checks the conformance to the newest TIFF for Archival (TI/A) Recommendations (in process of ISO standardization). Although your TIFF files are conformant to the main standards this does not guarantee long-term preservation. DPF Manager ensures you compliance to these set of recommendations, that is, your image digital assets will be prepared for digital preservation. View the full list of funcionalities here!
