Description

Interface Summary

METSManifest.Mdref	Callback interface to retrieve data streams in mdRef elements.
PackageDisseminator	Plugin Interface to produce Dissemination Information Package (DIP) of a DSpace object.
PackageIngester	Plugin Interface to interpret a Submission Information Package (SIP) and create (or replace) a DSpace item from its contents.

Class Summary

AbstractMETSDisseminator	Base class for disseminator of METS (Metadata Encoding & Transmission Standard) Package. See http://www.loc.gov/standards/mets/
AbstractMETSIngester	Base class for package ingester of METS (Metadata Encoding & Transmission Standard) Package. See http://www.loc.gov/standards/mets/
DSpaceMETSDisseminator	Packager plugin to produce a METS (Metadata Encoding & Transmission Standard) package that is accepted as a DSpace METS SIP (Submission Information Package).
DSpaceMETSIngester	Packager plugin to ingest a METS (Metadata Encoding & Transmission Standard) package that conforms to the DSpace METS SIP (Submission Information Package) Profile.
METSManifest	Manage the METS manifest document for METS importer classes, such as the package importer org.dspace.content.packager.MetsSubmission and the federated importer org.dspace.app.mets.FederatedMETSImport
PackageParameters	Parameter list for SIP and DIP packagers.
PackageUtils	Container class for code that is useful to many packagers.
PackageUtils.UnclosableInputStream	Stream wrapper that does not allow its wrapped stream to be closed.
PDFPackager	Accept a PDF file by itself as a SIP.

Exception Summary

PackageException	This is a superclass for exceptions representing a failure when importing or exporting a package.

Package org.dspace.content.packager Description

Provides an API and implementations of content packages, used in the context of ingest (SIP), or dissemination (DIP)

Packaging Interfaces

The principle interfaces are for ingesters and disseminators. The PackageIngester interface consists of the method:

WorkspaceItem ingest(Context context, Collection collection, InputStream in, PackageParameters params, String license)

There is also a 'replace' method, but this is not implemented consistently.

The PackageDisseminator interface consists of the method:

void disseminate(Context context, DSpaceObject object, PackageParameters params, OutputStream out)

Packaging Implementations

Ingester and disseminator implementations exist for METs and PDF packages, and the classes are designed to be extended for different profiles.
