Building PIPET: a Pre-Ingest Processing Environment and Toolkit for DSpace repositories Future Work A Unix workstation is the primary goal of future projects, but we also hope to continually add to our tool collection and to collect user-generated tool documentation. • Research • tools used in past DSpace projects • similar projects at other institutions • papers on digital archaeology, virtual workspaces, and related topics • Objectives • Research utilities necessary to process digital files prior to ingest • Develop a toolkit and virtual workspace for such processing. Development A list of recommended tools was generated, and each tool was evaluated for archival integrity and open licensing. Model Workflow What formats are we dealing with? JHOVE, GSpot, DROID What metadata will we need to ingest? NZMH, METS toolkit How can we preserve long-term access to the information in this object? Xena conversion software How can we ensure that the object ingested is the same as the original object? md5 checksum Unidentified digital objects for ingest Capstone project by Jennifer Lindley, summer 2007. With thanks to Dr. Patricia Galloway (faculty advisor/field supervisor).
