This page analyzes the structure of DSpace exports from an uncustomized (i.e. out of the box) DSpace installation.
Item export
Collection export
Used the following command to export a two-item collection with the handle 123456789-6:
./dspace packager -d -a -t AIP -e <user name> -i 123456789-6 calamy.zip
This results in the export of three zipped packages: one for the collection and one for each of the items:
- calamy.zip
- ITEM@123456789-7.zip
- ITEM@123456789-8.zip
The extracted contents of each zipped file are shown in this screenshot:
Collection-level mets.xml file
