Feature description
Archivematica accepts transfers packaged in accordance with the Bagit specification.
Requirements
- All standard Bagit checks are run: verifyvalid, checkpayloadoxum, verifycomplete, verifypayloadmanifests, verifytagmanifests.
- Archivematica differentiates between mandatory and optional bag elements so that if optional elements are not present the bag does not fail the verification micro-service.
- The BagIt checks generate log files that will be added to the logs directory of the transfer.
- The BagIt file manifest (manifest-sha512.txt) is placed in the metadata directory of the transfer.
- The other BagIt files (bag-info.txt, bagit.txt, tagmanifest-md5.txt) will be placed in a logs/BagIt directory.
- No new PREMIS events are required. The BagIt checks are recorded as a fixity check in PREMIS.
