  • Assets loaded on sul-brick; in directory /home/sulguest3/Yale/mssa.ms.1691 - there are only 2 files.
  • Each file asset is associated with a specific component; in other words, only two components have assets associated with them. The assets are a Microsoft Access database and a FileMaker Pro database.
  • The components that have an asset associated with them contain a dao element. This element's xlink:href attribute is a file URI that points to the location on sul-brick (this is a hack, but it should be sufficient)

I have finally been able to image the floppy disks and use FTK to do some basic processing. The EAD remains unchanged.

There are 7 disk images. The physical disks themselves were numbered with a different schema than the <c0n> elements in the EAD. The physical disk numbers were used to create the filenames for the disk images.

<c02 level="item" id="d1e560"> corresponds to disk images: 10726-p-q002001, 10726-p-q002002, 10726-p-q002003, and 10726-p-q002004b

<c02 level="item" id="d1e571"> corresponds to disk image: 10726-p-q002005
<c02 level="item" id="d1e582"> corresponds to disk image: 10726-p-q002006
<c02 level="item" id="d1e594"> corresponds to disk image: 10726-p-q002007

I have bookmarked the files within the images using FTK. The bookmarks correspond to the <c02> "id" attributes (so, files belonging to <c02 id="d1e582"> are bookmarked "d13582"). The files should be arranged within those containers in the collection. There are other files on the disks bookmarked "ignore" which do not need to be added to Hypatia. So, we would like to have the individual documents added in addition to the disk images. Is this possible? 

The FTK html report and XML report are included in the "report1" folder. These include the technical metadata drawn from the disk images. The disk images are in the folder "diskImages" and photographs of the physical disks are in the folder "photos." These jpeg images are named to correspond with the disk image file name and should also be available along with the disk images.

The file sizes are as follows:

  • 5 MB    report1/files folder
  • 36 MB  diskImages folder
  • 26 MB  photos fp;der

Please let me know any specific questions.

What I have to submit is some EAD for the Cheuse collection, and 4 zip files which match the id number of <co2> elements in the EAD. The zip files contain images of each disk and pdf files. I can't actually image the disks...I don't have the hardware yet. For the purposes of the tests, what I did was: 

  1. Took pictures of the floppies
  2. Created a  directory structure that matched the structure in the EAD and put the images of each disk in the appropriate folder
  3. Added a dummy pdf to each folder
  4. Zipped up each folder and ran it through Rubymatica which:
    1. unzips
    2. Creates some technical metadata within a METS.xml file
    3. Rezips
