SIP Content Type
Definition
A set of attributes describing the content of each type of /wiki/spaces/DR/pages/1950482449.
Introduction
PAIS identifies two constraints on SIPs that must be defined within each Producer-Archive Project:
- The authorized content of each SIP (i.e., the SIP Content Type)
- The order in which SIPs have to be delivered by the Producer to the Archive
SIP Content Type identifies the Transfer Object Types that may be found within that type of SIP. PAIS 4.2.2.2 establishes the attributes of a SIP Content Type:
- SIP Content Type ID - unique within a Producer-Archive Project
- Authorized Descriptor - a list of the Transfer Object Type Descriptor Identifiers that a transferred SIP of the type ‘SIP Content Type ID’, may or may not contain.
- Transfer Object Type Descriptor ID
- Occurrence
- Minimal occurrence
- Maximal occurrence
SIP Content Types
The Dalhousie Libraries prefers to establish Producer-Archive Projects that allow for three broad types of SIP:
- Accession (CAN-NSHD/SIPCT-001)
- Digital objects (CAN-NSHD/SIPCT-002)
- Physical objects (CAN-NSHD/SIPCT-003)
