File management

File Format Migration Plan

In addition to managing files into a defined format and verifying files before upload into the service system, the Kasetsart University Knowledge Repository has plans to migrate or improve digital file standards for review file standards, to ensure the files can be preserved and usable in the longterm and able to provide continuous service. Even if technology has changed, there will be regular monitoring for change. When a technology changes and affects the efficiency of the Kasetsart University Knowledge Repository services, it will analyze and review all available file formats to verify that can support the changing technology. If the file format is out of date and no longer works, it must be modified or migrated to the new file format standard so it can be accessed and displayed without changing any data, such as pdf files, which must be migrated or converted to pdf/a.

The plan of file format migration consists of processes as follows:
