Abstract

This tool helps package iData files in a way that preserves file metadata across downloads and re-uploads. Any combination of files from several projects can be packaged together and then re-uploaded to a different project folder. The packaging process creates a BagIT bag along with a serialized metadata XML file that contains metadata for all the packaged files. On re-upload, the bag is unzipped into the destination project folder and the metadata is re-applied to these files.
