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

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

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: not needed. A SIP ingest appears as a run in the import log (see Import).
  • 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: links to the run in the import log this record came from (should be in the default_intern form).

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.".

Process

  1. Validate: Anton checks schema, files and checksums, the parent elements and the import data. The stored validation report lists errors and warnings in full and successfully checked files as one count. The line per file is shown by php artisan sip:check --path=<file> --validate --env=<slug>.
  2. Import: The import runs in the background as a run in the import log. Anton shows the run with its progress; if it fails, the reason is shown there.
