Hello AW> Is anyone using Fedora to track ingestion workflow and could share his or AW> her experiences? I'm currently trying out a method that uses a simple AW> object datastream that tracks what has been done to a SIP. A submission AW> would be in the form of a folder with some files. A parent object in Fedora AW> would hold descriptive metadata datastreams and a workflow metadata AW> datastream, and each file would be ingested as a child object of the parent. AW> The number and location of files would be put in the workflow AW> datastream prior to ingest. When the ingest process runs, any errors AW> or other results would be logged to the workflow datastream.
At the University of St Andrews, I am working on getting Alfresco to be part of an OAIS compliant archive system, with Fedora as the final resting place for AIPs. Alfresco will handle the work flows and perform various tasks, like virus scanning, resource discovery and technical metadata extraction and normalisation of formats (e.g. .doc to PDF/A). Once all this has been done, it will generate a METS wrapper containing all the XML datastreams and links to the non-XML documents that Fedora should manage, which can be ingested by Fedora as SIPs. If you like the look of Alfresco, I can give you a copy of the code I have developed so far for performing these functions.
