Metadata Integration Package for Archivematica and AtoM

2024

Abstract

The package automates the integration and updating of metadata between Archivematica (1.17.0) and AtoM (2.8.2), ensuring smooth and consistent synchronization between the two systems. The first script merges metadata from Archivematica's METS (XML) files and AtoM's CSV exports to produce an enriched CSV file. It extracts UUIDs, analyzes `` tags to retrieve technical information such as format and size, and enriches the data with descriptions, formatted dates, and unique identifiers before generating the final urls.csv file. The second script uses this file to update archival records in AtoM via its web interface. By establishing a secure session, it downloads and modifies records by populating relevant HTML form fields with the new metadata. Using BeautifulSoup, it handles dynamic fields and submits updates via POST requests.

Metadata

Metadata (or metainformation) is "data that provides information about other data", but not the content of the data, such as the text of a message or the image itself. There are many distinct types of metadata, including: Descriptive metadata – the descriptive information about a resource. It is used for discovery and identification. It includes elements such as title, abstract, author, and keywords. Structural metadata – metadata about containers of data and indicates how compound objects are put together, for example, how pages are ordered to form chapters.

Package manager

A package manager or package-management system is a collection of software tools that automates the process of installing, upgrading, configuring, and removing computer programs for a computer in a consistent manner. A package manager deals with packages, distributions of software and data in s. Packages contain metadata, such as the software's name, description of its purpose, version number, vendor, checksum (preferably a cryptographic hash function), and a list of dependencies necessary for the software to run properly.

XML

Extensible Markup Language (XML) is a markup language and for storing, transmitting, and reconstructing arbitrary data. It defines a set of rules for encoding documents in a format that is both human-readable and machine-readable. The World Wide Web Consortium's XML 1.0 Specification of 1998 and several other related specifications—all of them free open standards—define XML. The design goals of XML emphasize simplicity, generality, and usability across the Internet.
