4 Digital Object Management
First one must ingest the objects. There
are a number of checks which must be
made. In addition a number of pieces of
information (“metadata”) must be
captured.
4.1 Ingest: Acquisition of Content
The “Information Properties” will be the
Transformational Information Properties
discussed in Sect.
13.6
.
4.1.1 The repository shall identify the Content Information and the Information Properties that the
repository will preserve.
4.1.1.1 The repository shall have a procedure(s) for identifying those Information Properties
that it will preserve.
4.1.1.2 The repository shall have a record of the Content Information and the Information
Properties that it will preserve.
This includes such things as Provenance.
4.1.2 The repository shall clearly specify the information that needs to be associated with specific
Content Information at the time of its deposit.
Of course the information comes in
as SIPs
4.1.3 The repository shall have adequate specifications enabling recognition and parsing of the
SIPs.
The producers are a key part
of Provenance and the start of the
evidence about Authenticity.
The repository must be sure of the source
of the information.
4.1.4 The repository shall have mechanisms to appropriately verify the identity of the Producer
of all materials.
4.1.5 The repository shall have an ingest process which verifies each SIP for completeness
and correctness.
