updated otp.trid.xml for OpenDocument Presentation Template
« on: February 26, 2020, 02:46:14 PM »
Hello trid users,

some days ago i handled some non Microsoft Office documents. When running
TrID on samples with file name extension otp, some are only described as
"Generic XML (ASCII)" by xml.trid.xml or are misidentified as "XMind
Workbook" by xmind.trid.xml ( See appended output/trid-old.txt). Some are
identified correctly as "OpenDocument Presentation Template" by
otp.trid.xml.
The not recognized samples are identified by file(1) command as
"OpenDocument Template" ( See appended output/file-5.38.txt).

So i run tridscan to update trid definition otp.trid.xml. When comparing
this with older definitions then we see that in global string sections some
string lines are vanished like:
   <String>CONFIGURATIONS</String>
   <String>SETTINGS.XML</String>
   <String>PICTURES</String>

The OpenDocument site on Wikipedia does not mention explicitly the
OpenDocument Presentation Template. So i replace reference URL by
OpenDocument page on file formats archive team site. This is expressed by
   <RefURL>http://fileformats.archiveteam.org/wiki/OpenDocument</RefURL>

According to that web site file gets it's own mime type. That is now
expressed by line:
   <Mime>application/vnd.oasis.opendocument.presentation-template</Mime>

With the updated trid definitions all my inspected OTH samples are now
described ( see appended output/trid-new.txt)
TrID definition, output and some examples stored in archive oth.zip. I hope
that my updated XML file can be used in future version of triddefs.

With best wishes
