Extraction from the Pure Research Information System and transformation for loading by Archivematica
Status:Experimental
Tools:
Input:Pure ID
Output:A transfer for Archivematica (directory of files and JSON description file)
Organisation:Lancaster University

Purpose, Context and Content

  • Initial focus was upon research datasets.
  • The work was carried out during the 2016/2017 academic year.
  • The Ruby gem 'Preservation' was developed. This workflow is outlined in the accompanying README.

Evaluation/Review

It worked!

The pain points were failed transfers, although this was mitigated to some extent by a reporting feature built into the Preservation gem.
