AIMS Overall Rankings

Overall Prioritization of AIMS Arrangement and Description Requirements:

Assumptions

• A&D_01: GUI
• AIMS partners can supply BagIt-based SIPs, either in directory or zip/tarball form. Rubymatica packages files with technical metadata from FITS/DROID into SIPs.

Really Critical Functionality

• A&D_12: Intellectual Arrangement
• A&D_03: Descriptive metadata
• A&D_04: Rights/Permissions

Critical Functionality

• A&D_10: Appraisal
• A&D_02: Technical metadata
• A&D_05: View Files/Representations (with qualifications: focus on providing viewing for browser-renderable formats and an extensible framework to add other viewers later)

OK / Depending on Resources

• A&D_08: Reporting
• A&D_07: Import Metadata (excluding EAD) (mostly for entity extraction)
• A&D_13: Searching within files
• A&D_11: Batch Application of Metadata from Files

Lowest Priority

• A&D_07: Import (not EAD) (other than entity extraction)
• A&D_09: Email (or other record formats like Databases)
• A&D_06: Export (not EAD)
