Can files be deposited without file extensions?

Question

Is it possible to deposit files without extensions or with characters that appear to be file extensions, but are not (e.g. Word Perfect file name: 96ALUM.REC)?

Answer

Yes, it's still possible to load these files into Rosetta and extract the techMD as long as the format is valid (jhove doesn’t care about the file extension; or lack of).
Contact the Format Library Working Group (FLWG) to consider adding 96ALUM.REC to the global format library.
