Line 4: '''JHOVE''' (JSTOR/Harvard Object Validation Environment) - pronounced "jove" - is a joint project of [[JSTOR]] and the [[Harvard University Library]] to develop an extensible framework for format validation. JHOVE is a format-specific digital object validation [[Application programming interface\|API]] written in [[Java Platform, Standard Edition\|Java]]. JHOVE is currently available for downloading as ~~Version~~version 1.5. It is licensed under the [[LGPL]]. The download includes both a command line and a [[GUI]] version. It is designed so that third parties can attach different "heads" to the software, and so can be integrated with other applications that need to validate files. It should run on any operating system which supports Java 1.4 and has a directory-based file system. Currently supported formats are [[AIFF]], [[ASCII]], Bytestream, [[GIF]], [[HTML]], [[JPEG]], [[JPEG 2000]], [[PDF]], [[TIFF]], [[UTF-8]], [[WAV]], and [[XML]]. Documents are analyzed and checked for being well-formed (consistent with the basic requirements of the format) and valid (generally signifying internal consistency). JHOVE notes when a file satisfies specific profiles within formats (e.g., PDF/X, HTML 4.0).
