Overview of changes New flexible environment for setting up and managing interactions between producers and the archive Domains to organize accounts, record organization, and packages Definable roles that can be flexibly combined and assigned to accounts Interfaces for designing package builders and archival resource gateways

Components Producer Managed Archive Managed Management Server Producer data suppliers Receiving Server Distributed Archive Schedule Request Authentication Package Information Ingestion Status Validation Services
4
Overall Organization Producers organized into domains, each domain containing a record schedule negotiated with the archive. Each domain contains a hierarchy of the types of data and record sets (convenient groupings from the record schedule). An end-user operates within a domain with record sets associated with the account.
5
Package Workflow 1. Client selects a record set to use as a package template. 2. A package is built locally and then transferred to a PAWN receiving server. 3. Optionally lock package to signal complete submission. 4. Review and possible reject items. 5. Transfer items from PAWN into final archive. 6. Remove package from PAWN.
6
Record Organization Previous version had one hierarchy with attachment points for items as leaf nodes. Did not allow for linking of related leaf nodes Hierarchy performed multiple roles, record organization and administrative organization. Current version based on Record Sets. Separate administrative structure and record structure. Record Sets are template packages.
7
Record Organization Each domain contains a record schedule Record schedule is a hierarchy containing authorities as endpoints Domains also contain an organizational hierarchy. Offices, projects, etc. Record Sets group of authorities from the record schedule attached to a point in the record hierarchy. Have access permissions Presented to producers as package templates

Flexible Account Roles Previous version had fixed accounts, producer, manager and administrator. Current version allows actions in PAWN to be grouped into roles. Each account is assigned a role. Sample actions in PAWN Record Set/Schedule management Package creation/deletion/modification Account management
10
SAML Usage SAML Assertions are issued by managers Contain manager namespace, domain, username Contain list of allowed actions by the client Contain client’s public key (holder-of-key) Signed by manager SAML Assertions authenticate and authorize a client for archive-side services. Package Management Calls Archive Management Calls Administrative Metadata Calls ArchiveProducer Call Overlap

Package Creation Packages are built using a Record Set as a template. Each category in a Record Set has a hierarchy of manifests attached. Manifests are an abstraction of underlying METS documents Custom package builders use manifest interface. Manifest Namespace Type Descriptive Name Data Type Descriptive Name Bits Metadata … Manifest … Metadata Type Bits Name
14
Package Builders Default Builder Create files and folders Attach descriptive metadata to files or folders ICDL Builder Create ‘books’ with dublin core metadata Uses ICDL database as source for book list and metadata
15
Package Scheduling and Submission Scheduler decides which receiving server to store a package Condor classad system used Receiving server periodically publishes available resources Client request space. Client Receiver Scheduler 2. Evaluate classad 1. Space Requirements 3. Create Reservation 4. Allocated Server 5. Package Transfer Receiver Classads
16
Publishing into Archival Resources PAWN provides an interface for registering gateways into archival resources Gateways provide: Configuration gui Client gui Mover to transfer data from PAWN to archive PAWN provides: Configuration storage Access to all items in a package Access to contextual information about a package Infrastructure for storing and loading gateway drivers.

XFDU publishing Create XFDU compatible Information Packet. XFDU is similar to METS. Separate data definitions from structural information Similar file attributes (size, checksum, etc..) PAWN mapping InformationPackageMap contains ContentUnits to recreate the hierarchy of data in a PAWN package. DataObjects register individual files. XFDU manifest and data files combined to form an Information Package.
