As well as pooling example files, we also pool format signatures:
- Tika signatures staged here: https://github.com/openplanets/format-corpus-tools/tree/master/tools/fidget/src/main/resources/tika-bl-staging
- Tika signatures later merged here: [https://github.com/openplanets/format-corpus-tools/blob/master/tools/fidget/src/main/resources/org/apache/tika/mime/custom-mimetypes.xml here]
- DROID signatures go [https://github.com/openplanets/format-corpus-tools/tree/master/tools/fidget/src/main/resources/droid here].
