Abstract
This paper introduces Jpylyzer, a validator and feature extractor for JP2 images. This simple tool is designed to do one task, validation, reliably and in a way conforming strictly to the JPEG 2000 Part 1 (ISO/IEC 15444-1) specification. In order to validate JP2 files, Jpylyzer examines the features used for conformance, thus consequently is able to list the features used. Further, this paper outlines how the development of Jpylyzer was strictly controlled in order to make Jpylyzer a tool that can be adopted by a wider community. We outline the software “curation” process being adopted within the OPF and SCAPE digital preservation projects. This process has resulted in Jpylyzer being successfully adopted into the debian/Ubuntu community and prepared Jpylyzer for submission to other platform “stores” and download sites.
