Archivematica can act as a "dark archive" for a DSpace repository - i.e. providing back-end preservation functionality while DSpace remains the user deposit and access system. Currently, Archivematica can ingest exports from DSpace 1.7.x. Ingest has not been tested on exports from DSpace 1.8.
- The transfer should be structured similar to the one in Archivematica's sample data at sampledata/SampleTransfers/DSpaceExport (figure 1). This is a standard DSpace export with one DSpace AIP for the collection-level description and one for each of the uploaded objects.
- The inclusion of the collection level export (eg aip_1314.zip) is not mandatory.
- A typical zipped item folder will contain the uploaded object plus a license file, a METS file and possibly an OCR text file (figure 2).
