Archivists' Toolkit DIP upload

This workflow involves creating resource components in Archivists' Toolkit; preserving digital objects and generating access copies (as DIPs) in Archivematica; sending DIP metadata, including digital object UUIDs, to AT; copying access copies to a web-server; and generating EAD files from AT and uploading them to XTF. XTF is used to display the EAD files and access copies on a publicly available website. The diagram below depicts the overall workflow:

Workflow

1. Create resource components in Archivists Toolkit: Create a collection-level resource component and sub-components as desired. Note that “level of description” of the top-level component must be “collection”.
2. Before ingesting digital objects destined for Archivists' Toolkit and XTF, ensure that the Achivists' Toolkit DIP upload settings in the administration tab of the dashboard have been set.

• Include the IP address of the host database (db host), the database port (db port), the database name (db name), the database user (db user), and the Archivists' Toolkit user name (at username).
• Should you wish to enable the PREMIS-based restrictions functionality, choose "base on PREMIS" under "Restrictions Apply".

1. Digital objects can be ingested in zipped or unzipped bags or in unbagged directories as standard transfers. If the objects are in a bag, do not insert a directory between the top-level directory and the bag’s /data directory.
