Format built on a container#

This page is generated from the code and must not be edited by hand.

A file whose contents are a container, such as HDF5, is flagged as built on that container, and a ZIP under an archive’s extension is asked about, since only the lab can say what it holds.

  • Kind of rule: What is raised for attention (flags). Raises something for a person’s attention without concluding anything.

  • What it concludes: a finding

  • Reasoning: defeasible. A conclusion is usually right, and is retracted when a rule it names concludes against it.

Yes. The engine runs it.

What would defeat it#

  • installed_software_in_folder: A folder is recognized as an installed program, such as a copy of Fiji or a Python environment, from the parts it holds, a name ending .app, its program-style subfolders or a majority of program files; its files are still indexed and read, and rules about experiments leave them alone.

It stands aside beneath every folder one of these rules raises:
