UNT Libraries AIP-to-DIP/ACP Conversion Workflow
Introduction
The UNT Libraries has a formal definition of the required features and elements for an Archival
Information Package (AIP) documented in the UNT Libraries OAIS Information Package
Specification. That document, while describing what should be present in a valid Archival
Information Package (AIP) and Dissemination Information Package (DIP), does not cover the
process used for converting an AIP to a DIP. The goal of this document is to establish the
process and workflow for the conversion of an AIP to a DIP for the UNT Libraries' Digital
Collections. Historically the UNT Libraries has referred to its Dissemination Information
Package (DIP) locally as the Access Content Package (ACP) and for the purpose of this
document they are equivalent and can be used interchangeably.
Ingest Dropbox
Dropboxes define the steps involved in the ingest process of our digital content. They are
responsible for creating the AlPs and DIPs for our repository, locally referred to as the Coda
repository and Aubrey access systems. A dropbox encapsulates a series of steps that are
executed, in sequential order, on the submitted digital objects. These steps are represented by
folders in the dropbox that hold the input, output, and errors for each step. The management
python scripts, such as makeAlP.py and makeACP.py, are used to convert a SIP to an AIP and
an AIP to a DIP/ACP, respectivly.
The conversion process proceeds after the successful conversion from a submitted Submission
Information Package (SIP) to an AIP that is covered in the document UNT Libraries SIP-to-AIP
Conversion Workflow. As can be seen from the dropbox organization list below, this newly
created AIP resides in the 3.ToACP folder, which is designated by Dropbox during ingest.1
