fodg.trid.xml for OpenDocument Flat XML Graphics
« on: February 25, 2020, 12:07:13 AM »
Hello trid users,

some days ago i handled some non Microsoft Office documents. When running
TrID on samples with file name extension fodg, these are only described as
"Generic XML (ASCII)" by xml.trid.xml or are misidentified as "Scalable
Vector Graphics (var.3)" by svg-xml.trid.xml or "Synchronized Multimedia
Integration Language" by smil.trid.xml ( See appended output/trid-old.txt).

So i run tridscan on generate new trid definition fodg.trid.xml. When
comparing this with similar definition like fodt.trid.xml and looking at
OpenDocument page on Wikipedia it is clear that this describes the graphics
of the office suite.

According to web site reposcope.com the non zipped XML office file gets it's
own mime type. That is expressed by line:

      <Mime>application/vnd.oasis.opendocument.graphics-flat-xml</Mime>

Unfortunately the definition file is generated by only five examples. So i get
223 string lines in global string section. So maybe other users refine the
definition file by more examples.

With the new trid definitions all my inspected FODG samples are
now described ( see appended output/trid-new.txt)

TrID definition and some examples stored in archive fodg.zip. I hope that
my new XML file can be used in future version of triddefs.

With best wishes
