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.

<structMap>

The structMap section of the Archivematica METS file is designed to capture the directory structure of the AIP. It's TYPE is therefore physical (rather than logical) and it is grouped into divisions by directory.
