General description

During transfer, digital objects are moved into Archivematica and run through several micro-services: UUID assignment; checksum verification (if checksums are present); package extraction (i.e. unzipping of zipped or otherwise packaged files); virus checking; format identification and validation; and metadata extraction.

At the end of transfer, the user can select a number of ways to create one or more SIPs from the transfer. Once this is done, the SIP(s) are moved into ingest.
