DIP download

A DIP (Dissemination Information Package) is a ZIP that bundles an object with its entire subtree — all subordinate records, their media files and accompanying metadata. Intended for the classic handover of files to third parties. For preservation-oriented delivery, see OCFL download.

Adding the button and making it visible

The DIP button belongs in the download module (module_word_download) of the internal detail form — the same module as Word, OCFL and the RDF exports. It appears only for levels of description that are listed in the setting:

Setting	Meaning	Example
level_of_description_ids_for_dip_download	Level IDs with a DIP button	[3, 4, 5, 6]
dip_creator_class	Creator class (default CreateDip)	CreateDip

Level-of-description IDs: 1 collection, 2 recordgroup, 3 fonds, 4 class, 5 file (dossier), 6 item, 700 series.

Neither setting is editable via /settings — they are set by seeder or Tinker:

\Ottosmops\Settings\Setting::setValue('level_of_description_ids_for_dip_download', [3,4,5,6]);

The button is suppressed automatically if the object lies in the accession area (accessions_archives_id in its path).

What is in the package (CreateDip, default)

The standard produces a BagIt bag (ZIP):

<full_id>.zip
└── <full_id>/
    ├── data/
    │   ├── content/<Title>/…        ← media files, folders = object titles
    │   └── meta/
    │       ├── <file>.xml           ← Dublin Core per medium
    │       └── <full_id>.docx       ← Word finding aid (cf. download-word)
    ├── manifest-md5.txt             ← MD5 checksums of all files
    ├── bagit.txt
    └── bag-info.txt                 ← repository details, external identifier

• Checksums: MD5 (the BagIt default SHA-512 has deliberately been removed).
• bag-info.txt draws repository_name, repository_address and repository_email from the settings.
• Files are named after the reference code, folders after the object title.

Simplified variant (ZhCreateDip)

If dip_creator_class is set to ZhCreateDip, a lean ZIP is produced without BagIt and without metadata: only the folder structure from the titles, with the media files under their original file names. Only leaf objects (without children of their own) that carry media are included.

Custom variants: create a class under app/Services/Exporter/Dip/ with create(AntonObject $object): string and enter the class name in the setting.

Batch export from the console

php artisan anton:export-dip --env=<slug> --ids=42,77,103 --target-dir=/path/to/target

--target-dir is optional (default: the transfer directory). The CLI export always uses CreateDip and places the ZIPs in the target directory instead of deleting them after delivery as the web download does.

Visibility

The DIP download is only reachable for logged-in internal users. Like the rest of the internal view, a DIP also contains records marked as private — internal users are meant to see them.
