Pre-Ingest Library Published

The Pre-Ingest Library and a Library for Creating METS Documents have been published. The Pre-Ingest Library creates submission information packages (SIP) according to the specifications of the Digital Preservation Services in Finland. The library creates a valid SIP from supplied descriptive metadata and content files and it can create all mandatory technical and structural metadata and combine these with the supplied information to a METS document. The METS document is digitally signed and packaged together with the content files into a SIP archive file, ready to be submitted to the DPS for ingest.

The Library for Creating METS Documents is used for creating METS documents according to the specifications of the DPS. The library is used as a part of the Pre-Ingest Library, but it can also be used directly for customized needs together with the Pre-Ingest Library.
