  • Archivematica needs to be able to produce reports in the following ways:
    • During ingest processing, to assist the archivist to have a better understanding of what's in the SIP and to make appraisal decisions. These reports would appear at pre-determined points during processing and may or may not be retained as part of the AIP.
    • After SIPs have been fully processed, to support ongoing preservation planning and administrative activities. These reports would be run through queries input by the user.
  • The primary user interface for generating, viewing and saving reports would be the dashboard.

Processing reports

  • Summary of FITS output providing technical information on ingested files to assist with Approve SIP for preservation micro-service (Issue 179)
    • Report elements: mime types; presence and type of compression; presence of unknown mime types; presence of files with no file extensions; filesize; other?
  • Normalization reports: Generate a report which summarizes the results of normalization, with details for each object (Issue 373)
    • Report elements: normalized yes/no; if yes what category (image/AV/document etc); normalization failures; files with no default normalization paths


Post-processing reports

  • Normalization/ preservation planning reports: find objects for which there was no normalization path; finds objects that failed normalization; find objects of mime type x; find objects with compression algorithm x; find audio/video files with codec x.
  • List of AIPs for which no DIPs were generated
  • List of files in DIPs that have not been uploaded to the access system
