This page documents the workflow and METS content for lower-level metadata import - i.e. metadata to be attached to subdirectories and files within a SIP.

==Workflow==

#For simple objects, the user places files in the objects directory, with or without intervening subdirectories. The imported metadata are attached to each object.
#For compound objects, the user creates one or more subdirectories in the objects directory, each containing the files that form a compound object. The imported metadata are attached to each subdirectory.
#*'''The subdirectory names must not contain spaces or other forbidden characters.'''
#The user adds a csv file to the metadata folder for the transfer entitled ''metadata.csv'' ('''figure 1''')
#*The first row of the csv file consists of field names. '''Field names must not include spaces.''' ('''figure 2''')
#*Dublin Core field names must contain the "dc" element in the name, eg "dc.title"
#*Each subsequent row contains the complete set of field values for a single directory or file
#*For multi-value fields (such as dc.subject), the entire column is repeated and each column contains a single value
#*If the metadata are for simple objects, the csv file must contain a "filename" column listing the filepath and filename of each objects: eg "objects/BrocktonOval.jp2"
#*If the metadata are for compound objects, the csv file must contain a "parts" column listing the names of the directories containing the items that form the compound object: eg "objects/Jan021964"
#*Note that filenames can be duplicates of filenames in other subdirectories if desired. For example, the name "page01.jp2" can occur in multiple subdirectories.
#At the generate METS micro-service, Archivematica parses the metadata in ''metadata.csv'' to the METS file, as follows:
#*All Dublin Core elements are used to generate a dmdSec for each directory or file with MDTYPE="DC"
#*All non-Dublin Core elements are used to generate a dmdSec for each directory or file with MDTYPE="OTHER" OTHERMDTYPE="CUSTOM"
#*The dmdSecs are linked to their directories or files in the structMap

==Simple objects==

This section provides csv file and METS file examples for simple objects - i.e. individual files that are not pages in a compound object such as a book or a newspaper issue.
