Stanford directory output for Gould collection contains the EAD and the content and metadata files for both Media and file objects:

  • M1437 Gould
    • Computer Media Photo
      • CM001.jpg
      • (etc)
    • Disk Image
      • CM001.001
      • CM001.001.csv
      • CM001.001.txt
      • (etc)
    • Display Derivatives
      • {filename}.htm
    • EAD
    • FTK xml
      • files
        • {filename}
      • Report.fo
      • Report.xml
      • Report_transformed.xml
      • Disk Image

Note that the first 2 directories map to objects describing the physical media and will be the source of creating the "unprocessed" collection, while DIsplay Derivatives and FTK files  map to individual file content & description and will be used to create the "processed" collection.

The Import/conversion process will produce this arrangement of objects in DOR:

  • Collection object
    • Series set -- Series 1 ..."
    •    :
    • Series set -- "Series 6: Born Digital Materials"
      • Media object 1
      • Media object 2
      •    :
      • File object 1.1
      • File object 1.2
      •    :
      • File object 2.1
      • File object 2.2
      •    :

Note that even though the files originate on specific media, the "Media" objects are not sets in the DOR/Hydra sense of simple object aggregation. Instead, the file/media relationship is considered just one of many possible intellectual arrangements that can be expressed in metadata. HOweverHowever, a specific RELS-EXT relationship (hydra:isLocatedOn, wasLocatedOn, cameFromSourceMediaonSourceMedia??? ugh) and a MODS <location> (for humans) express the file and media relationship, allowing this logical view:

  • Series set -- "Series 6: Born Digital Materials"
    • Media object 1
      • File object 1
      • File object 2
      •    :
    • Media object 2
    •    :

A simple <type> designates the primary intellectual arrangement of the files based on the nature of their content.

Sample of the starting lines of the .txt file describing the media object.

This token, taken from the head of the <filepath>, is the only data link between the FTK output for a file object and the corresponding media object. We want a data link in descriptive metadata as well as an RDF link to the corresponding object.

<filesize>35654</filesize>

 

Could be used by conversion to compare against the file size as computed locally, a quick check prior to checksum validation?
