Information Packaging (Backlog) Workflow Enhancements

Simon Fraser University has sponsored a development project to improve the ability to store Transfers for a long period of time. The goal is to improve the metadata quality of Transfers to reduce the risk of storing them for a long period of time in a backlog. As a result of this project:

• Transfers placed in backlog are now packaged as bags
• The Transfer METS file now records all preservation actions that took place during Transfer.
• The Appraisal Tab now handles packages with more than 1,000 files.
• A backlog can be populated from a new pipeline from transfers created by another pipeline.

• Issues (linked from epic): https://github.com/archivematica/Issues/issues/391

"Vintage" AIP handling

AIPS created in Archivematica prior to version 1.0 can’t currently be re-ingested in more recent versions (due to namespace collisions with the use of PREMIS 2.1).

This change will make it possible to reingest these older AIPS into Archivematica. This work is sponsored by the City of Vancouver Archives.

LDAP support for Storage Service

The Archivematica Storage Service now supports LDAP integration. This was sponsored by Piql for the Norwegian Health Archives.
