🎤 Yesterday morning I attended @aprilorg's Conférences éclairs. It was amazing to reconnect with Isa and see inspiring presentations, like Natacha's work on @lessanspages, Éric Le Bihan's #Linux4All, @julie's talk about #Strapi, @bookynette's talk on "what kind of volunteer are you?" and the closing presentation by Olivier Deiber on "Repairing the Future."

🎨 In the afternoon we took our 5-year-old to the #Louvre Museum for the first time, she'd been obsessed with the Mona Lisa for 2 years and it was amazing to show her the original... as well as other paintings by Leonardo.
🎟️ Grateful that I had signed up for the Amis du Louvre (their annual membership program) so we were able to skip the lines to go in (200 people in front at least). And now I can take my little one to the Louvre whenever I want, since it's free for people under 18. So cool!

PRONOM’s dustiest records
NB. because of the complexity of this post, it may be easier to read in original blog form, than on Mastodon here: https://exponentialdecay.co.uk/blog/pronoms-dustiest-records/
Tyler’s recent blog post for the PRONOM Hack-a-thon Week 2024 (my previous for this week), brought up an interesting point about two of PRONOM’s oldest outline records, Real Video Clip (fmt/204) and Real Video (x-fmt/277). How did they end up in PRONOM?
Tyler suggests:
I assume PRONOM originally added these based on MIME types available.
I thought I knew the answer, and so it prompted a forensic look at the records to see if what I thought I knew aligned with reality!
As a PRONOM maintainer at The National Archives, UK from 2009-2012 I knew a little bit of the history of the system, we see some of that history impact us today, for example, when we look at the number of records that don’t have descriptions or file format signatures, 156 of those records are so-called x-PUIDs. A mechanism in PRONOM that was never meant to make it into the wild for working on file formats internally without polluting the public record. There are 455 x-PUIDs in total. They made it into the wild anyway (before my time) and so they exist as a symbol of PRONOM’s dustiest oldest records.
Even by the time I had started, PRONOM still had a lot of what we started to call outline records. One of the more positive changes we made to the process back in the day was that we would stop creating outline records; instead, we would focus on records that could be tied to signatures. This didn’t necessarily make the records more correctly aligned with reality, but it meant records had utility and file formats identified by DROID could be tied back to something that PRONOM “knew about”. I believe the process is a bit more flexible these days, allowing individuals to contribute information to records that tie them back to information like MIMEtypes and specifications. It’s clearer the format is “real” even if a signature is yet to be developed (and of course there are a large number of data formats that are hard to even represent in traditional PRONOM signatures any more and so they need a record, even if there isn’t a neat concept of a signature for them).
Okay old-man, but what about Tyler’s thesis?
Stellent and PRONOM
I learned sometime in my tenure at The National Archives that PRONOM had been seeded with a lot of the formats listed in a technology called OutsideIn previously owned by Stellent and now owned by Oracle.
Oracle OutsideInhttps://docs.oracle.com/outsidein/853/oit/OutsideIn (2010)https://web.archive.org/web/20101016164937/http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/content-management/oit-all-085236.htmlData sheet – Formats (2011)https://web.archive.org/web/20110125024733/http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/content-management/ds-oitfiles-133032.pdfCOPTR entryhttps://coptr.digipres.org/index.php/Oracle_Outside_In_TechnologyI had always had a feeling that that the scope of this list was largely exaggerated by the company selling the software as it is a marketing tool; and if not exaggerated, perhaps, just not as clearly delineated by format than PRONOM, and rather, by Software, regardless of the properties of a given “format”, e.g. WinZip, and PKZip.
Back to the story though, I was also reasonably sure I would find Tyler’s RealVideo formats in the format listing but, I did not!
I downloaded a CSV summarizing the PRONOM records from api.pronom.ffdev.info with:
curl -X 'GET' \'https://api.pronom.ffdev.info/pronom_summary_csv' \-H 'accept: application/csv'I filtered on outline entries and those without signatures only. I went through the entries still remaining and looked for name matches. I did find some name-for-name matches and some that were close, but no RealVideo or RealVideo Clip.
The matches:
7-bit ANSI Textyes7-bit ASCII Textyes8-bit ANSI Textyes8-bit ASCII TextyesEBCDIC-USyesFramework Database IIIyesIBM DisplayWrite Document 2yesIBM DisplayWrite Document 3yesMicrografx Designer 3.1yesNota Bene Text FileyesUnicode Text FileyesThe maybes:

It’s hardly a headline!
I had hoped that if I found more exact matches it would provide some clues to where some of the older PRONOM entries came from. I expected most of the outline records to come from this list, alas, it isn’t nearly as many as anticipated.
I hoped too that going through the list I might get more clues as to formats that could potentially be deprecated in PRONOM.
As it stands, from the OutsideIn list, the only records I would personally recommend for deprecation are:
7-bit ANSI Text7-bit ASCII Text8-bit ANSI Text8-bit ASCII TextEBCDIC-USUnicode Text File
We know enough now to be almost certain that if something that looks like these files arrives in the archive it will present as a standard text file, and that we will need to rely on determining the character encoding using tools such as Richard Lehane’s characterize (see characterize’s README for more background). It is unlikely we will be able to attach a signature to these records, and we know there are a great deal more encodings in the world than need be represented as PRONOM identifiers.
NB. this might be something to formalize in a PRONOM decision making rubric, connected also, to formalizing approaches for XML based signatures.
A bit of a let down, or is it?
Still uncomfortable with so many outline records and little provenance for them, I wanted to find more information about the source of PRONOM data and so I decided to take a different path — I surfed the internet for answers!
Out of the list of outline records I found a few to be overly specific, or slightly weird, i.e. not really things we hear much about day-to-day, some examples:
ACBM GraphicsApple SoundAutoCAD Plot Configuration File 1.0-R13AutoCAD Plot Configuration File R14AutoSketch DrawingBtrieve Database 5.1CorelDraw PatternDEC Data Exchange FileDEC WPS Plus DocumentDr Halo BitmapGeneric Library FileHTML Extension FileHewlett Packard AdvanceWrite Text FileInkwriter/Notetaker TemplateInset Systems BitmapInstalit ScriptInterleaf DocumentMicrosoft Excel Add-InMicrosoft Excel ODBC QueryMicrosoft Excel ToolbarMicrosoft Powerpoint Design TemplateMicrosoft Print FileMicrostation CAD Drawing 95NAP MetafileNota Bene Text FileOS/2 Change Control FileRevit External GroupSAP DocumentSAS Data FileScanstudio 16-Colour BitmapSchedule+ ContactsSpeller Custom DictionaryUnisys (Sperry) System Data FileWordperfect Secondary File 5.0Wordperfect Secondary File 5.1/5.2form*Z Project FileACBM graphics? Dr Halo Bitmap? Btrieve database, “5.1”? where are the other five?!!
It gave me pause. I didn’t believe these were all formats well-known to folks who created PRONOM, and I know we didn’t have such an advanced digital transfer program at the time that meant agencies were submitting huge variations of formats to PRONOM for future preservation.
I felt they had to come from somewhere, but where?
Enter Filext.com
Because these formats were very specific I found listings on the internet that I knew had to be part of the story. I had immediate luck just looking for combinations of these names, e.g. ACBM Graphics + NAP Metafile.
In particular I found listings on different websites from hobbyists or universities that all looked the same or similar, e.g.
There were definite matches with PRONOM which we will get to, but I started to wonder about the provenance of these extensions.
I kept looking and I found one clue, a header and footer of a file that looked like those above and read as follows:

Do NOT distributeit to others either alone or incorporated into anysoftware without prior permission from Computer Knowledge.Developers who wish to incorporate portions of the listplease see the comments at the end of this file.

(This covers future plans to include such links in this list.).When the project is complete please notify FILExt with thespecifics at [email protected].

Filext.com!
And so I asked myself, how long had filext been around?
As it turns out, quite a while! It was forked from a site called cknow around 2002. cknow.com was registered around 1996 and filext.com registered in 2001.
The first appearance of cknow in the internet archive is late 1996: https://web.archive.org/web/19961219035827/http://www.cknow.com/ and Filext early 2001: https://web.archive.org/web/20010522235126/http://www.filext.com/
The sites were founded by Tom Simondi. It looks like he has been responsible for a lot of the 90s and 00s work around demystifying extensions and getting more information to folk about what to do with them.
Could it be the source of the first PRONOM records?
Comparing some of the many other text-based lists I had found with cknow and filext gave me some confidence that there was some shared heritage with the them, and so I asked, could the cknow and filext lists have also seeded PRONOM?
I picked a list close to 2002 (cknow Extensions: 2000) when PRONOM was first started and began to compare entries for exact matches.

What did we answer?
Okay, 46 exact matches does not the full listing make (although many (now) full-entries may still have been made from these early listings). Filext may have been an important resource for the first PRONOM records, but it’s also likely that PRONOM had other sources of information. For example, for a number of the Microsoft formats with outline records read like export or save-as listings in previous versions of Microsoft software. E.g. Excel:
NB. I wasn’t actively researching this side of things writing this blog, but I can already see some commonalities, especially Unicode Text!
I know we also had a copy of the Dr Dobb’s Essential Books on File Formats CD-ROM in the archive, and so that may also have been an important resource when PRONOM was creating its first records.
I count only two overlaps with the Stellent list, Framework Database III and Nota Bene Text File.
We did, however, find the RealVideo Clip! And I think we found some decent correlation with a resource that looks likely to have been used partially to populate the PRONOM database.
The era of file extensions
- Throughout my research, I found a lot of similar websites. Filext seems to go furthest back and has the greater pedigree, but in the noughties a lot of other sites seemed to appear to try and provide similar information to internet users, a few of note that seemed comprehensive and particularly well presented:
- Endungen.de (Internet Archive circa. 2002) https://web.archive.org/web/20020603193356/http://www.endungen.de/index.php?changelanguage=049
- Dotwhat.net (Internet Archive circa. 2005): https://web.archive.org/web/20050615021635/http://www.dotwhat.net/
- File-extension.net (Internet Archive circa. 2007): https://web.archive.org/web/20070521093707/https://file-extension.net/
- Filesuffix.com (Internet Archive circa. 2006): https://web.archive.org/web/20060615083930/http://www.filesuffix.com/browse/browse-1.html
- Filext backup: https://www.fileext.com/
I am sure we looked at these sites during my time on PRONOM, although with less frequency given the need to reduce outline records and increase the number with actionable information.
NB. I also learned that TrID has been around since 2003! https://web.archive.org/web/20030612031252/http://mark0.ngi.it:80/
Provenance and prior art
It’s not entirely productive to say I wish we had better provenance for PRONOM records back in the day – but I do!
It makes me reflect on the importance of looking outside of our own walls in digital preservation instead of the constant redundancy of reinvention or ownership.
Often as academics, or those with archival views of the world, we can provide a polish and precision to technology as it exists to make it more usable in an archival context.
But cknow has been around so long, and the Unix utility File was created in 1986.
There’s a parallel history here that we should be recognizing and sharing for our next colleagues.
I arrived at TNA in 2009 and learned about File maybe two years later. As a Windows guy at the time, that might not be uncommon, but I do feel it is on me to have known more. I also think it should have been trivial to access the provenance around some of the records in the database at the time, but more than that – as a field, shouldn’t we all know Tom Simondi? What if the same academic rigour of PRONOM and DROID could have been applied to existing tools like File? What if we had expanded our bubble and recognized digital preservation (or the tools for it) is something people have been doing in all but name for the longest time? What if the people working in parallel on these projects and websites were part of the digital preservation inner-circle community today?
I don’t have answers, but I feel there are lessons there for the future. Not reinventing or rebuilding without good reason is important, but even if we build something new and we have been inspired by something else, continuing to recognize and acknowledge prior art is important.
What do you think?
Also, how do we get these people into a room and celebrate their work, and learn more!
What next?
I don’t think I got very far here but I found it interesting, and I hope other readers may as well.
This is meant to be a PRONOM hack-a-thon blog and I don’t know if I have pushed the sticks forward that much but maybe there’s a bit more to reason about in the outline records, for example, around the plain-text formats mentioned above and a few more identified along the way.

The complete filext text file (allext.zip)
It took a few jumps, but I found the complete downloadable text file from Filext.com. I don’t think it exists any more and I don’t think the internet archive managed to grab a copy. Apparently it was quite a chunk of data to download on the web once upon a time, but they eventually found a way to release a zipped text file:
Via one jump we get to the “whole list” page:
https://web.archive.org/web/20020605164206/http://filext.com/wholelist.htm
And then to confirm our absolute interest in downloading it, we get to the a2z file:
https://web.archive.org/web/20020606071418/http://filext.com/a2z.htm
Which would have taken us to the zip file, alas, never captured on the Internet Archive anyway, maybe it is on other Memento compatible servers:
https://web.archive.org/web/20060117000000*/http://www.filext.com:80/allext.zip
Keeping filext up to date
Filext still asks for registry data to help keep it up to date. That’s pretty cool!

Nativity Holy Advent Mashup – NHAM Mixtape 7
Welcome to the Christmas mixtape – Nativity Holy Advent Mashup! 12 festive-themed tunes to jingle our bells. 🔔🎄🤶☃️☀️
As always more info including song and artist links below the mixtape.
[If viewing from the Fediverse you need to click here to listen to the mixtape on NHAM]
If you’d prefer you can listen to the tracks as a radio show initially aired on Radio Free Fedi (click me).Lo-Fi Orchestra – The Carol of the Bells
Microcontrollers and boards in place of humans and their orchestral instruments. Each board connected to a central MIDI distribution aided by Raspberry Pis and another nano-tech. Sound complex? It’s all explained in a lot more detail here. Lo-Fi Orchestra has performed many classical pieces including The Flight of the Bumblebee and Tchaikovsky’s 1812 Overture but if you watch the Peertube video I’m sure you’ll agree that this Christmas piece is even more perfectly suited to this set up as the boards flash bright lights when their sound plays, creating a fitting festive lighting effect.
@diyelectromusicMans1 – Freezing Rain
Another one found on Peertube, this is a reworking of the original that Mans1 released with Hometaping on the Hip-Hop Taoists Album. It features Oliver H on lead vocals with Mans1 bringing the smooth French rap. The video has some lovely stop motion in the snow.
@mans1Futzle – Weeping Melaleuca
Let’s not kid ourselves that Christmas is all about snow and cold weather. Far from it as Christmas comes just days after the summer solstice for the Southern Hemispherites. This song from Futzle centres around a type of tree native to Australia called a Melaleuca – whose red flowers fall like tinsel on the ground in the heat of the Christmas hols. Although not a true story in it’s entirety Futzle says the lyrics are still meaningful and informed by her life. Indeed the tree itself did exist until it’s life was brutally cut short in 2023. Its memory though lives forever in this beautiful song.
@futzleSive – Don Oíche Úd i mBeithil
From the red of the Melaleuca to the green of the Emerald Isle. Performed beautifully this traditional Irish carol translated as ‘That Night in Bethlehem’ sings of the night in the West Bank when Jesus was born. Sive has cleverly interwoven parts of a Palestinian folk song in to this rendition.
@sivemusicLAGRANGE POINT 6 – God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen
Another traditional Christmas carol, this version was composed with the juxtaposition of utilising synths to create a medieval approach, and to great effect.
@jimdoneganCURXES (Robert Fidora) – I BELIEVE IN FATHER CHRISTMAS
They said there would be peace on earth. This is Roberta’s electronic cover version of Greg Lake’s classic protest song at the commercialisation of Christmas. What’s not commercialised eh? Peace I guess. Shit! -That’s the answer! -If we can find a way to commercialise peace we might yet find a way to make capitalism work. (We’ll need a way to commercialise degrowth too, mind).
@RobertaFidoraXylander – How Glad They Were
The sad albeit understandable announcement of the sunsetting of Radio Free Fedi hit us all pretty hard. One thing for sure is that the community we are all now part of thanks to RFF will live on. For the electronic music section of the community Pete Xylander has already begun putting together some shows for an electronic-based online station called @audiointerface so check that out if you are that way inclined. Meanwhile here is his Christmas tune from last year. Welcome the reindeer. How glad they were at the sound…
@xylanderWanda & Nova deViator – Wrappings
You know those jokes you get in Christmas crackers? Here’s mine:
Q: What do you get when you cross an electronic musician and a contemporary dancer, performer and choreographer who both take influences from breakbeat, trip-hop, dub, idm, electro, noise and other bass genres?
A: Presents! And this is one of them, nicely wrapped.
(It wasn’t supposed to be funny! Christmas cracker jokes never are. At least this one has substance.)
@lukaEugene K – the angel
I love the atmospheric build up in this and the way it merges in to a prog rock performance. Eugene K is a poet and artist who has created a brilliant telling of William Blake’s poem.
@eugenekThe L Plate Players – I’m Staying Home This Christmas
Written for her found Fediverse family, Deborah Pickett penned a country-Christmas song and asked many of those friends to collaborate on it. Deborah says that sixths feel festive to her, and so filled the chorus with them, excluding all thirds, fourths and fifths in the process – clever as ever, as are the lyrics!
@futzle, @herzleid, @jimbob, @nein09, @pelagikat, @philsawa, @pilum, @raaahbin, @sknob, @virtualwolftoadlilies – three stars each
We’ve got to have a bit of shoegazey pie for Christmas! From the ursa major album released in May this year ‘three stars each’ is a lovely song from the Nebraskans. There may be nothing explicitly Christmasy about it but the twinkly jingles combined with the stars in the title make it sit well in this mix.
@toadliliesBonkWave AllStars – We Wish You A Merry Bonksmas
2024 has been described the year of the bonk and 2025 is set to be even more bonky so we could play out with nothing else. I wish you a VERY MERRY BONKSMAS indeed!
