Format shifts #13

Closed ahankinson closed 6 years ago

ahankinson commented 6 years ago

An institution has decided that it will undertake a mass conversion of its image files from TIFF to JPEG 2000. They implement an object migration client that reads in the old files, converts them, creates a new version of the object, and stores the new files. Their client also performs a check that the conversion is lossless and validates that the JPEG 2000 is correctly encoded using Jpylyzer. A record of the format shift and the results of the validation are stored in the object's audit logs.

While logs should be kept of the transformation, the specifics of the logs are out-of-scope.

Details out of scope, relies upon versioning (#11) and logging (#22)

F2F 2018.09.05: This is "just" versioning, which is supported already.
