A Fingerprint Method for Scientific Data Verification

  • Micah Altman
Conference paper

Abstract

This article discusses an algorithm (called "UNF") for verifying digital data matrices. This algorithm is now used in a number of software packages and digital library projects. We discuss the details of the algorithm, and offer an extension for normalization of time and duration data.
