SIP ingest (eCH-0160)

Anton enables the import/ingest of Submission Information Packages (SIP) in accordance with eCH-0160, whereby the files (dossiers) and documents are imported into the archival arrangement.

On the standard: https://ech.ch/de/ech/ech-0160/1.2.0

Since v0.62.0: unified import hub

All import paths — SIP, Excel, directory, agate — are brought together under /import (four tabs). The old URLs (/sip/validation, /sip/ingest, /sip/inbox) redirect transparently to the appropriate tab. See user/import.md for the UI overview.

agate SIP import (since v0.61.0)

BagIt SIPs sent by agate (the Anton preparation tool) via HTTP run through a separate path with NARA category mapping and an inbox. Details: agate-sip.md.

Requirements

Anton

  • Accession archive: a (blocked) archive whose ID is entered in the accessions_archives_id setting.
  • The archive hierarchy (parents) must already exist in Anton.
  • If the reference codes in the archive hierarchy have a prefix, this has to be set (setting: identifier-prefix).
  • With the setting strict_sip_validation, Anton issues an error during validation if a file is not found in the SIP.
  • Anton form (default_intern):
    • sip_id: contains the linked reference code pointing to the entry of the SIP in the accession archive (should be in the default_intern form).
    • note.sip_md5sum, note.actual_backup should be in the default_intern form (displayed at fonds level / SIP).

Example for identifier-prefix

The parent element (<ordnungssystemposition>) of the <dossier> corresponds to the parent in Anton. The parent in Anton is determined on the basis of the content of the <nummer> element in the SIP. If, for example, this number is "0.6.6" but the archival reference code is "A.1.4.0.6.6", the prefix has to be filled in accordingly with "A.1.4.".
