  • Adding new DC metadata files (version 1.5)
  • Adding new submission documentation (unsponsored)
  • Adding new digital objects (unsponsored)
  • Deleting digital objects (unsponsored)
  • Redoing format identification/validation/characterization (version 1.6)
  • Redoing metadata extraction (version 1.6)
  • Redoing preservation normalization (version 1.6)
  • Generating new DIP (version 1.5)
  • Running OCR on re-ingest (version 1.6)
  • Rerunning other micro-services (Examine Contents, Transfer Structure Report) (unsponsored)

New micro-services

New micro-services for all workflows

  • Retrieve AIP from archival storage
  • Place AIP in active transfers for processing
  • Extract AIP contents and run BagIt checks
  • Add approve AIP re-ingest micro-service
  • Re-use existing file UUIDs
  • Identify new metadata files
  • Validate schemas in new metadata files
  • Update METS file
  • Replace AIP

METS versioning

  • Versioning will be captured via METS file updates.
  • METS file updates will be handled through <status>, <created> and <groupID> attributes in the various METS sections. See for example Element <dmdSec> at http://www.loc.gov/standards/mets/docs/mets.v1-9.html.
  • This means that there will always only be one AIP METS file, but it will contain both superseded and current metadata and versioning information for all updates.
  • The original METS file will also be maintained as submission documentation
