Hi Franziska,
To answer the first part of your question, that ticket (DS-1096) is
still looking for a volunteer or two to help us provide that integration
with PRONOM. At this point in time, there's no timeline for when this
work may happen, but it likely is still of interest. Similar to other
open source platforms, DSpace itself is primarily developed and
maintained by volunteers from throughout the world.
So, if you or anyone else is interested in this work, please do let us
know (add a comment to that ticket) and then feel free to provide a
GitHub Pull Request per our code contributions guidelines:
https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSPACE/Code+Contribution+Guidelines
At this point, I'm unaware of anyone who has implemented this locally.
But, I would also be interested to hear about any who have built in this
feature already!

Post by Franziska AckermannDear list,
In the past there have been discussions to use PRONOM as an external
format registry for DSpace,
e.g.
https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSPACE/BitstreamFormat+Conversion+Instructions
The idea dates back to 2011 and was considered to be a feature with
major priority back then (https://jira.duraspace.org/browse/DS-1096). It
seems that the idea has not been realized. Are there plans to offer this
feature in a future release? Likewise, if there are DSpace installations
that use PRONOM as an external registry, we'd be interested to hear
about them.
Best,
Franziska Ackermann
Post by Franziska AckermannDear all,
With the "Bitstream Format Registry" DSpace recognizes the mimetype of a
bitstream, but doesn't specify the version of the file format. We are
thinking about including the version information in the database.
Has anyone done this yet? We'd be glad about tips.
Best regards,
Franziska Ackermann
