Generic transfer

This section shows a sample METS structure for an ingested SIP containing the following:

• /objects
  • LAND2.BMP
  • lion.svg
  • /More images
    • MARBLES.TGA

<fileSec>

The fileSec is broken into two fileGrps, one for original files and one for preservation copies:

• <fileGrp USE="original">
• <fileGrp USE="preservation">

Example:

• <fileGrp USE="original">
  • <file ID="LAND2.BMP-[UUID]" GROUPID="G1" ADMID="digiprov-LAND2.BMP-[UUID]"><Flocat xlink:href="objects/LAND2.BMP" locType="other" otherLocType="system"/>
• <fileGrp USE="preservation">
  • <file ID="LAND2-[UUID].tif-[UUID]" GROUPID="G1" ADMID="LAND2-[UUID].tif-[UUID]"><Flocat xlink:href="objects/LAND2-[UUID].tif" locType="other" otherLocType="system"/>

Note the GROUPID="G1"; this links the original file to its normalized version. Also note that the objects in the submissionDocumentation folder are treated in the same way as ingested objects.
