Bag level

Table of contents

  1. manifest-md5.txt (file)
  2. bagit.txt (file)
  3. /data (directory)

The bag is the top level of the meemoo SIP and is essentially a wrapper around a SIP submitted by a CP for ingest in the meemoo archive. It is a compressed directory that conforms to the BagIt 1.0 specification (RFC 8493).

A bag serves a purely practical purpose as a transfer container between a CP’s archive and meemoo’s ingest space. Therefore, it will be unpacked during ingest and is deleted after processing. As such it will not appear in the meemoo archive as a separate entity.

Example

root_directory
│── manifest-md5.txt
│── bagit.txt
│
└──data
   │   ...

Requirements

  • A bag MUST be a compressed archive file.
  • A bag MUST contain a bagit.txt file.
  • A bag MUST contain a manifest-md5.txt file.
  • A bag MUST contain a /data directory.
  • The contents of a bag MUST be character-encoded according to UTF-8.
  • A bag MUST be a ZIP file.
  • A bag MAY contain a bag-info.txt file.

manifest-md5.txt (file)

The manifest-md5.txt file lists all files in the bag across the different directories together with their corresponding checksums created with the MD5 message-digest algorithm. It is used during processing of the bag to allow for data integrity checking.

Requirements

  • The manifest-md5.txt file MUST list all files contained in the bag.
  • The manifest-md5.txt file MUST NOT list any directories.
  • The manifest-md5.txt file MUST NOT list any files outside of the bag.
  • Each line of the manifest-md5.txt file MUST be of the form checksum filepath, where filepath is the pathname of a file relative to the bag-level directory, and checksum is a hex-encoded checksum calculated by the MD5 message-digest algorithm.
  • The slash (‘/’) character MUST be used as a path separator in filepath.
  • One or more linear whitespace characters (spaces or tabs) MUST separate each checksum from each filepath.
  • Each line of the manifest-md5.txt file MUST be terminated with an LF, a CR or a CRLF.

bagit.txt (file)

The bagit.txt file contains exactly two lines in the exact order specified in the example below. The first line specifies to which version of the BagIt specification the bag conforms, while the second line identifies the character set encoding of the bag and its files.

Example

BagIt-Version: 1.0
Tag-File-Character-Encoding: UTF-8

Requirements

  • The first line of the bagit.txt file MUST specify the exact version of the BagIt standard. The version MUST be 0.97 or later.
  • The second line of the bagit.txt file MUST specify the character set encoding of the bag and its files. This encoding MUST be UTF-8.

/data (directory)

The /data directory contains the content of the bag divided across a number of different files and directories. Each /data directory MUST contain exactly one package, consisting of the combination of a mets.xml file, a /metadata directory and a /representations directory. See the package level for more information and the requirements of the /data directory.

Example

root_directory
│   ...
│
└──data
   │──mets.xml
   │
   │──metadata
   │      ...
   │──representations
   │      ...
