TRIM exports

Main Page > Development > Development documentation > TRIM exports

This page documents ingest of TRIM exports based on requirements for VanDocs ingest at City of Vancouver Archives.

TRIM export contents

A TRIM export consists of

• 1 or more containers
• A manifest of the transfer (manifest.txt)
• XML schema documentation for all xml files in the transfer (container, location and document xml metadata)
• Location metadata (Location.xml)
• Container metadata (ContainerMetadata.xml)
• Document metadata (eg DOC_2012_000100_Metadata.xml)
• Documents (eg DOC_2012_000100.docx)

Processing a TRIM export

Parsing contents to the SIP

• Each container becomes a single transfer OR each transfer is broken into one SIP per container
• manifest.txt is copied to metadata/submissionDocumentation/
• Location.xml is copied to metadata/
• All schema documentation is copied to metadata/
• The relevant ContainerMetadata.xml is copied to metadata/
• The relevant document metadata files are copied to metadata/
• All documents are copied to objects/

A SIP generated from a TRIM export

Verifying manifest

The contents of the transfer must be verified against the manifest.txt file during the "Verify transfer compliance" micro-service.

Verifying checksums

Each document metadata file contains an md5 checksum for the document:

These checksums must be verified during the "Verify transfer checksums" micro-service.

The AIP METS file

dmdSecs

• Each container will have one dmdSec consisting of Dublin Core metadata derived from the TRIM export metadata
• Each file will have one dmdSec consisting of Dublin Core metadata derived from the TRIM export metadata

Container metadata mapping

TRIM element	DC element	EAD element	RAD element	Comments
<TypedTitle>	<dc.title>	<unittitle>	Title proper
n/a	n/a	<c> Level attribute	Level of description	Level of description will be obtained from METS StructMap div TYPE
<HomeLocation>	<dc.creator>	<origination>	n/a	AtoM adds a Name field linked to the Date(s) of creation field
<DateModified>	<dc.date>	<unitdate>	Date(s) of creation	Date range based on earliest and latest DateModified in document metadata
n/a	<dcterms.extent>	<physdesc> and subelement <extent>	Physical description	Count of documents in the SIP plus fixed text
<Notes>	n/a	<note>	General note
<RecordNumber>	<dc.identifier>	<unitid>	n/a	AtoM adds an identifier field to archival descriptions

amdSecs

• Each container will have an amdSec consisting of:
  • A rightsMD with an xpointer reference to the AccessControl element in metadata/ContainerMetadata.xml
  • A digiprovMD with an xlink reference to metadata/ContainerMetadata.xml
  • A digiprovMD with an xlink reference to metadata/Location.xml

Sample amdSec for a container

• Each file will have an amdSec consisting of:
  • A rightsMD with an xpointer reference to the AccessControl element in the relevant document metadata xml file
  • A digiprovMD with an xlink reference to the the relevant document metadata xml file
  • A techMD and digiprovMDs generated by Archivematica during processing

Sample amdSec for a file

fileSec and structMaps

• Each METS file will have two structMaps, the Archivematica default structMap and a logical structMap for hierarchically arranging the container into a file and its child items
• The container and file div TYPE elements will map to the RAD Level of description field in AtoM
• The structMap contains the links between containers and files and their relevant dmdSecs
• The structMap also contains the link between the container and its amdSec
• The files are linked to their amdSecs in the fileSec

Flagging closed/open AIPs

• The container metadata file (ContainerMetadata.xml) has two fields whose values will be used to populate the PREMIS rights entity in the SIP, DateClosed and RetentionSchedule. Examples are:
  • <DateClosed>2012-08-17T16:13:31-08:00</DateClosed>
  • <RetentionSchedule>EV2.3.A</RetentionSchedule>
• The DateClosed field will be used to populate the termOfRestriction startDate in the PREMIS rights entity
• The DateClosed and RetentionSchedule fields will be used to calculate the termOfRestriction endDate in the PREMIS rights entity. For the examples provided above, Archivematica would calculate 5 years from the end of 2012-08-17 and then to the end of the calendar year, for a result of 2017-12-31.
• The closure period would also be captured as a standardized free text entry in the rightsGrantedNote field of the PREMIS rights entity, for example: Closed until 2012-12-31.
• Other PREMIS fields would be auto-populated for every VanDocs ingest as shown in the screenshot below.
