NESCent Ingest

#Content Modeling#

• Collection: A collection object will be created for each NESCent project. One (or more?) collection objects will be created for NESCent administrative materials not associated with a project.
• Item: An item object will be created for each file ingested.
• Component: A component object will be created for each file ingested.

#File System Layout#

A directory is created to contain the NESCent materials and metadata. Within that directory, a sub-directory is created for each project and one (or more?) for administrative materials not associated with a project. The files associated with each project or administrative grouping are placed within the appropriate project or administrative sub-directory.

The top directory also contains a delimited text file named `ddr-ingest-metadata.txt' containing descriptive metadata. More information on the metadata file is found below.
