Metadata extraction tool
The National Library of New Zealand has announced version 3.2 of its Metadata Extraction Tool. The email which I didn't receive telling me about it would have had a stern boilerplate warning against disclosing any information contained in it, so my official story is that I just found that page by chance. Honest!
The tool understands BMP, GIF, JPEG, TIFF, MS Word (version 2, 6), Word Perfect, Open Office (version 1), MS Works, MS Excel, MS PowerPoint, PDF, WAV, MP3, HTML, and XML. Unlike JHOVE, it apparently isn't intended as a validation tool, but otherwise it serves a somewhat similar purpose.
