to be archived, the size of packages, what validation will be performed when
packages are received and how often packages will be sent.
9. Use a standardised and well documented packaging format (for example
XFDU) that fits the preservation objectives and provides the mechanism to form
the relationships between the digital asset and the RIN determined in points 5,
6 and 7.
10. Associate AIPs with resolvable identifiers and descriptive information which
can be used to later find and retrieve them
14.11.10 Example MST Implemented Network
The MST scenario described earlier in this document has been implemented using
the RORRI and XFDU information packaging software components. Using the
above method, the packaging software component has been used to create AIPs
which reference the external RIN held within RORRI. The Packaging Builder soft-
ware and visualiser is a Java application allowing the creation and visualization of
network enabled AIPs. The following application screen shot in Fig. 14.22 ,shows
an AIP with a partially expanded network.
We can see the preserved data object represented as the grey square, its RIN
connections are also clearly shown. In this implementation the first level dependen-
cies are stored directly within the AIP denoted by triangles, subsequent dependency
levels are stored in the RIN held within RORRI denoted by circles. The first level
packaged items are as follows:
