Placeholder: XML discussion on PRONOM signatures and Wikidata #36

Open ross-spencer opened 1 year ago

ross-spencer commented 1 year ago

Description of problem

XML patterns and signature development can be more consistent - because XML based formats follow a lot of the same patterns, e.g. capturing quotes you always need (22|27) and you'll likely always see some sort of 78 6D 6C 6E 73 (XMLNS entry) - you can follow templates up to a point and then add custom elements which allow you to identify specific flavors.

There's a much clearer rendition and beginning of a discussion around this on the Wikidata property talk below.
