Introduction to DigiTool Version Repository Main characteristics: Responsible for storage and management of objects. Stand-alone component with a standard API (Web Services). File storage: local (NFS), remote (URL). Local storage is controlled by storage rules. Metadata storage in “XML boxes” based on the metadata type (e.g., descriptive, technical). Decomposition of compound objects (e.g., METS) to facilitate long term preservation.

Multiple digital entities can “point” to the same metadata, on a metadata-by-metadata basis.

Introduction to DigiTool Version Storage Management Storage Groups determine the storage type, i.e., location root and folder break. Storage Rules determine to which Storage Group a certain object is directed. Storage rules can be based on ingest application, preservation level, administrative unit, file size, MIME type, or a combination of these elements. Storage Groups and Storage Rules are controlled by the repository administrator.

Introduction to DigiTool Version Deposit Module of learning objects by instructors. Designed to support the acceptance of digital object deposits: of scholarly work from students/professors (e.g., theses, dissertations, etc.). of special collections by non- staff users (e.g., student, faculty members, outsource ) as part of collection creation.

Introduction to DigiTool Version Deposit Module Approver – serves approvers for the review of the deposits Consists of three main user interfaces: Deposit – serves depositors for the deposit of objects Management – allows the configuration of the deposit workflow, depositor and approver profiles and groups Deposits are ingested into the Repository only after approval Ingest into the Repository can be: Automatic when a deposit is approved Via the Ingest module where pre ingest tasks can be further defined

Introduction to DigiTool Version Deposit Module – Main Features Manages depositor profiles Assigns material types to depositors Controls number of deposits Assigns depositor to approver Special descriptive forms for each material type Imposes submission rules per material type (i.e., up to a certain size, only certain formats) Status-driven deposit management Special deposit workflows (wizard) for different material types:

Introduction to DigiTool Version Two main functions: Creation and submission of new ingest activities – bulk and individual Ingest Module Monitoring of ingest status (scheduled, running success etc.) Ingest activities can be initiated directly from the Ingest application or by pre-defined for automatic ingest via the Deposit Module

Introduction to DigiTool Version Ingest Main Functions

Introduction to DigiTool Version One loader, multi transformers Ingest Architecture Transformer – take objects and/or metadata as input, and transform it to the Repository digital entity representation. Ingest activity is a workflow that combines a certain transforming process with pre-ingest tasks, and is followed by the generic loader. All loads (including batch) are processed as individual digital entities to control loading errors.

Introduction to DigiTool Version Ingest Activity A typical workflow for submission of Ingest activity: 1. Enter activity name and schedule time for running, select type of transformer and determine the background tasks to run as part of the ingest activity. 2. Order/Select background tasks into a task chain 4. Point to location of files or upload files 5. Submit 3. Select Digital Entity template and select/verify background task parameters

Introduction to DigiTool Version Simple Search Options The Simple Search is the most basic form of searching DigiTool, carried out as a word search in all fields of the resource. There are several possible ways to conduct a simple search:

Introduction to DigiTool Version Advanced Search Options An array of options to perform complex keyword searches. Search of several indexes simultaneously, indicating terms relations by Boolean operators and limiting a search by media type or file format. Search in XML tags.

Introduction to DigiTool Version Personal Collection Designed to support instructional/educational activities. Approved users, such as professors or instructors, can load objects in their e-Shelf and arrange them in a folder structure, together with objects from the main repository. Users can share their personal collections with other users (e.g., students) by publishing the collection and receiving a unique URL. Shared collection can be linked via a simple URL, and easily embedded in CMS/VLE systems.

Introduction to DigiTool Version Collection Management Module The institution can arrange objects in a hierarchical collection structure. Staff members use a dedicated web-based interface for creation, management, and publishing of collections. A collection record can point either to a child collection of records (e.g., Art, Paintings) or can include pointers to specific objects or group of objects. Each collection record can include title, description, and thumbnail. Each object can be part of more than one collection.

Introduction to DigiTool Version A collection can be defined with a search command (i.e., logical) or a list of Object PID’s (itemized) Logical vs. Itemized A logical collection demands “instantiating” the search command to derive an actual list of objects The end result of the 2 collection types is a list of records, defined under Collection Management by search query or a list of Object PIDs.

Introduction to DigiTool Version Databases/Units in DigiTool Three types of units exist: 2. Silo Unit is a database that holds the data and configuration for the Web-based Resource Discovery e.g. GEN01 1. Admin Unit is a database that controls the work activity of cataloging, deposit, ingest, etc. for that specific unit only. e.g. DTL01, DTL02 3. System Unit is a database that controls system- related activities such as users, repository, storage and cache e.g. DAT01, REP00, EXT01, VIR01

Introduction to DigiTool Version It is a single institutional repository for consortia or multi-branch academic institutions. Each unit manages and controls its collections within the common repository. Patrons search all of the collections via a single resource-discovery interface. Support for Multi-Administrative Units
