Add a page for the Unknown Formats workflow #28

Description

@anjackson

Working with the Yale DPS folks, split out some of the existing Collections Profiles page into a dedicated workflow for looking for unknown formats across registries and sources.

Almost every institution has 'uncharacterised' files, ones that the current tools don't identify and so know little or nothing about. This new page would focus on checking the file extensions against multiple tools. The results should:

  • Document tool coverage gaps that result in un-characterized status
  • Identify secondary tools for characterization
  • Identify gaps in coverage for potential format definition development

If collection profiles from other institutions are also available, this could also be used to indicate who one might be able to collaborate with on these matters. However, detailed comparison of collection profiles would not be part of this page.
