4.1.5 - The repository shall have an ingest process which verifies each SIP for completeness and correctness.
Introduction
Scholars Portal has two mechanisms in place to verify the completeness and correctness of each SIP upon ingest.
- Testing the SIP during the Pull Script process to ensure that the downloaded file size matches that of the original file still in the publisher FTP server.
- The immediate identification and validation of the file format through the use of the FITS software package which employs tools such as DROID and JHOVE.
Documents explaining the two mechanisms in greater detail are available below.
Responsibility
Software Developer - Responsible for the creation of loader scripts.
Digital Preservation Policy Librarian - Ensures proper functioning of overall system.
Metadata Librarian - Authors NIH metadata crosswalk, if necessary.
System and Web Development Analyst - Receives notification of failed loader scripts.
Monitoring Commitments
If an error is found during the Pull Script test, an email is sent to the loader and ingest is retried or loader script is corrected. If the error persists the Producer is notified.
