Place all media files directly into the batch job folder. Add a corresponding MODS XML file per media file. Each MODS XML documents MUST be named with a filename matching the corresponding media file object, followed by the suffix _METADATA (and the file name extension .xml):

1. <filename>.tif
   
2. <filename>_METADATA.xml
   

The DAMS will create one DAMS asset per media file, guessing the content model based on the file name extension. The media file will be stored as the asset's OBJ datastream, the corresponding MODS XML document will be stored as the asset's MODS datastream.

Option 3 - Media file objects and common metadata MODS XML file

Place all media files directly into the batch job folder. Add one MODS XML document named common_METADATA.xml containing common metadata that will be used for all assets created from this batch.

The DAMS will create one DAMS asset per media file, guessing the content model based on the file name extension. The media file will be stored as the asset's OBJ datastream, and each asset will store a copy of the common metadata MODS XML document in its MODS datastream.

Option 4 - XML only (create placeholder assets)

• The <filename> portion CANNOT contain spaces, use underscore (_) instead.
• It is recommended that the <filename> portion anticipates the filename of the media file object to be added later, but this is not a requirement. Media file objects added later with Method 5 (see below) are matched to their respective placeholder assets using a manifest file and the placeholder asset PIDs.
• Use 2 (two) equal signs to connect the <filename> portion and the <CONTENTMODEL> portion of the XML document's filename.
• The <CONTENTMODEL> portion of the filename must be one of the following options:
  • L-IMAGE (Large Image content model, for TIF or JPEG 2000 files; example filename: my_large_image23==L-IMAGE.xml)
  • AUDIO (Audio content model, typically for WAV or MP3 files; example filename: interview_part1==AUDIO.xml)
  • VIDEO (Video content model; example filename: episode012==VIDEO.xml)
  • PDF (PDF content model; example filename: my_pdf_file==PDF.xml)
  • BINARY (Binary content model; example filename: very_important_asset==BINARY.xml)

The DAMS will create one DAMS asset per MODS XML file, using the content model specified in the filename. Each asset will store the metadata contained in the MODS XML file in its MODS datastream. The OBJ datastream of each asset will contain a placeholder media file.

Option 5 - Add media file objects to placeholder assets

...

• Each line of the info.txt manifest MUST contain the following information: <PID without namespace identifier>===<filename.ext>.
• <PID without namespace identifier> is the part of a PID after the colon (UUID), e.g. 9ebf6ac8-1823-4bf4-8398-654b54090776 for PID utlarch:9ebf6ac8-1823-4bf4-8398-654b54090776.
• Use 3 (three) equal signs to separate the UUID and the <filename>
• The <filename> portion CANNOT contain spaces, use underscore (_) instead.
