Exporting
Whatever the Workspace holds can leave it, in the formats other systems read. Nothing is locked in.
A unit and what is inside it
On any unit of description, Export offers:
| Format | What it holds |
|---|---|
| RiC-O | Everything: the unit, its relations, agents, places, activities and rules, as linked data |
| EAD 2002 and EAD3 | The finding aid: this unit and every unit inside it |
| CSV | This unit and every unit inside it, one row each, in AtoM's ISAD(G) columns |
| Dublin Core | This unit alone, as simple Dublin Core (oai_dc) |
| MODS 3.8 | This unit alone |
| METS 1.12 | This unit and every unit inside it, each described in Dublin Core, with the files you may receive and their SHA-256 |
| PREMIS 3.0 | Its preservation metadata: its instantiations, their files with SHA-256 and PRONOM format, and every event done to them |
Choose the language: a value not written in it goes in the language it was first written in. Choose Include draft records to take drafts too; otherwise only published values and names go.
What each format leaves out
No format but RiC-O carries all of a RiC description. Under each format, the export page lists what of this unit it does not carry, found by reading the export itself, so you know before you send it. Left out downloads the same list for every format as JSON.
Many at once
- Every archival description (
/records/export): the catalogue, or one repository's part of it, as CSV in AtoM's columns, with a row for each language a unit is described in. - Every authority record as EAC-CPF, or every activity as EAC-F, in a ZIP.
- Every accession as CAAIS, from the accessions list.
- A vocabulary as SKOS, from its page.
- An authority record alone as EAC-CPF, from its page.
What you may export
An export holds what you may read and no more: only the units inside it that you may read, only accepted or disputed relations, and only those whose other end you may read. A file kept back by rights or an embargo is left out of METS and its manifest.
Exporting for the public
The same formats are open to anyone, for what is published, through the OpenRiC API and OAI-PMH. See Open data and harvesting.
