4.2.1 - The repository shall have for each AIP or class of AIPs preserved by the repository an associated definition that is adequate for parsing the AIP and fit for long-term preservation needs.
Introduction
Scholars Portal's Definition of AIPs explains the different components that embody an AIP within the repository.
- Scholars Portal stores the content data object separately from the primary preservation metadata file, which is held in the Marklogic database. The CDO is stored on a filesystem with a reference to its location contained in the preservation metadata.
- The Representation Information, Preservation Description Information (PDI), Packaging Information and Description Information of the content object are all contained within a structural metadata scheme based on METS(Metadata Encoding and Transmission Specification). Within this container, Scholars Portal uses the PREMIS (Preservation Metadata Implementation Strategy) vocabulary. The repository makes use of the objects, events and rights entities described in the PREMIS Data Model.
