In progress.

Name

The AIP name is composed of the following:

1. Either the name of the original transfer if no new name has been assigned to the SIP upon formation or the name of the SIP or SIPs created from the transfer and
2. a UUID assigned during SIP formation

example: Images-aebbfc44-9f2e-4351-bcfb-bb80d4914112 "Images" is the name assigned by the user and "aebbfc44-9f2e-4351-bcfb-bb80d4914112" is the UUID generated during SIP formation.
