Feature request: TEI support ?

[sviscapi]

Dear @richardlehane ,

Could it be possible to add TEI support to Siegfried ?

https://tei-c.org/ https://github.com/TEIC

At the moment, PRONOM, which in turns uses DROID, identifies TEI files as plain XML files, which is not correct.

Hi again,

I understand that Siegfried also uses Wikidata to identify formats.

There is a TEI entry there:

https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q780920

Maybe I was wrong, Siegfried could already be able to tell TEI apart from XML. I need to check though.

Hi @sviscapi - the latest version of siegfried can use wikidata identifications, but it looks like that wikidata entry currently doesn't have any related signatures (patterns to enable the matching). To get siegfried to identify TEI files, you'd need to get updates to either PRONOM (to create a new entry) or wikidata (to add signatures to the existing entry).

Incidentally it is PRONOM research week at the moment, so somebody might be willing to help with this. I've added a ticket to their github repository: https://github.com/digital-preservation/pronom-research-week/issues/25
