University of Illinois ArchivesDigital Archives ProgramProcedure 2.0: Generating Preservation MetadataAuthor: Angela Jordan, Chris PromApproved: Chris Prom, Jan 4, 2011Generating Preservation MetadataUsing Teracopy, move the folders/ files from the “Unprocessed/xxyyzzz” folder to a new sub folder in the “Preservation” folder: “Preservation/xxyyzzz” where xxyyzzz = the record series number. Open the NARA File Analyzer and Metadata Harvester (C driveProgram Filesusnationalarchives-File-Analyzer-74e0b69binfileAnalyzer.jar). If necessary, create a shortcut on the desktop for future use.Provide the following information on the opening screen:Root Directory: find the appropriate record series in the Electronic Records Repository (\\libsysdigi.library.uiuc.edu\archives\Electronic Records Repository\UA\Unprocessed\xxyyzzz)Action to perform: Get MD5 Checksum By NameMax Items: depends upon the size of the ingestFilter Criteria: leave blank unless you want to scan particular folder itemsHit “Analyze” at the bottom of the screen. Once an Analysis is complete, the results will open in a new tab to the left of the existing tabs (see figure one.)Figure One39941540957500Open the “Details” Tab, which provides a file-by-file description of the processed files. Figure TwoExport the information from the details tab to the record series’ preservation folder located in the Electronic Records Repository (Preservation\xxyyzzz), saving it as “xxyyzzz_metadata.txt” (example: “1505050_metadata.txt” for record series 15/5/50). Copy the files from the unprocessed folder to the preservation folder. Once copied, delete the files being from the unprocessed folder. For multiple ingests of the same record series:Use these instructions for a record series that already has preservation metadata and additional material is being added to the series. The user can also use the below steps to filter look only at matching items, mismatched items or missing items. Run the file analyzer on the new material, as per steps 1-5 above.In Step 6, save the results as xxyyzzz_metadata2.txt and rename existing metadata.txt file to metadata1.txtOpen both metadata.txt and metadata2.txt with a text editor, such as NoteTab.Cut and Paste the results from both metadata.txt and metadata2.txt into a new file. Save the file, using the filename “xxyyzzz_metadata.txt.”Retain all three metadata files in the directory, to allow for redundancy if there is a problem at a future time. ................
