Preservation and access to records with geodata (Full Scale Pilot 5)

This report contains information gathered during the execution of E-ARK Pilot 5: Preservation and access to records with geodata

Archival Information Package (AIP) Pilot Specification

This report presents the E-ARK AIP format specification as it will be used by the pilots (implementations in pilot organizations). The deliverable is a follow-up version of E-ARK deliverable D4.2. The report describes the structure, metadata, and physical container format of the E-ARK AIP, a container which is the result of converting an E-ARK Submission Information Package (SIP) into the E-ARK Archival Information Package (AIP). The conversion will be implemented in the Integrated Platform as part of the component earkweb

E‐ARK Dissemination Information Package (DIP) Final Specification

The primary aim of this report is to present the final version of the E-ARK Dissemination Information Package (DIP) formats. The secondary aim is to describe the access scenarios in which these DIP formats will be rendered for use

Detailed Pilots Specification

The Electronic Archiving Service consists of a series of activities covered by software tools and manual workflow steps. These tools are currently partly in existence, some are being developed by E-ARK project, many more are to be added by developments of the digital preservation community in the future. The role of this report is to identify the most relevant scenarios for the E-ARK Service, define which scenario which level of activity is needed in order to bridge the gap of the currently existing solutions (e.g. integration, software development, interface definition

E‐ARK Search, Access and Display Interfaces

The aim of this report is to describe the “Search, Access and Display Interfaces” that have been developed in the Access component of the E-ARK project. The deliverable associated with this report is mainly a software deliverable and therefore this document provides only underpinning descriptions of and links to the software itself. The tools that are described and provided allow Consumers (ie. end-users and archivists) to: 1. Search and order records (primarily end-users, but also archivists) 2. Manage orders of records and manage the records themselves, including the AIP to DIP conversion (archivists only) 3. Access ordered records as DIPs (primarily end-users, but also archivists) In addition to the the introductory remarks in chapter 2, the functionality of the tools that allow the Consumers to search, manage, and access records is described in chapter 3. After the description of each tool, links are provided to code and documentation
