FITS Extractor

Overview

A simple module to extend islandora solution pack install processes by adding technical metadata extraction via the File Information Tool Set (FITS).

Behind the scenes, the module tries to get as much metadata as possible from your file by running:

fits.sh -i infile -xc -o outfile

The -xc command can sometimes cause problems, so if that fails, the module tries:

fits.sh -i infile -x -o outfile

Should that fail, technical metadata extraction is aborted and the error is logged in the watchdog (see Chapter 14 - Troubleshooting).
