  7. Archivematica • OAIS-compliant digital preservation system

  8. Archivematica at CUL • Dedicated Ubuntu virtual machine on CUL server with mounted network storage

  9. Submission Information Packages • Assign unique IDs • Verify content integrity • Perform virus check • Clean up filenames • Perform file format identification • Extract metadata • Generate METS.xml file

  10. Rights Metadata PREMIS rights at the SIP level

  11. Descriptive Metadata Dublin Core metadata at the SIP level

  12. Archival Information Packages • Normalize objects for preservation • Populate METS.xml file • Create and store AIP
