This page documents preliminary requirements for DIP upload to DSpace, an integration which is tentatively scheduled for development in Archivematica 1.1.

General requirements

• User submits transfer to Archivematica with specified elements (csv file containing metadata, license, preservation masters, access copies, etc)
• User processes transfer as standard transfer
• At DIP upload, user selects Upload to DSpace
• Archivematica converts generic Archivematica DIP to Simple Archive Format for import into DSpace

Simple Archive Format
