Nested Directory Test Collection

Overview

The Nested Directory Test Collection is a compact digital archive created for evaluating file‑system operations within the PINAX framework. It consists of a single top‑level folder that houses a minimal set of files: a subdirectory containing a text note and accompanying JSON metadata that describe the collection’s structure and purpose. All content is in English and is organized to demonstrate how nested directories are handled by the system.

Background

This collection was assembled as part of an internal testing environment for developers working with the PINAX metadata schema. No individual creator, institution, or creation date is recorded, indicating that the materials were produced solely for functional validation. The PINAX source metadata lists the subjects “notes,” “testing,” and “nested directories,” underscoring its role as a test harness rather than a scholarly resource.

Contents

• Root folder – labeled “Nested Directory Test Collection,” containing the collection’s descriptive metadata.
• Subdirectory – a single folder that holds notes.txt, a brief text file illustrating a simple note.
• Metadata files – `pinax.json` and `pinax_metadata.json` provide JSON descriptors that define the collection’s type, subjects, and description, linking the root folder to the notes file.

Scope

The archive covers a narrowly defined domain: it includes only the files necessary to test nested directory handling. There are no dates, geographic references, or external rights information. The collection is intentionally minimal, focusing on the mechanics of directory nesting rather than on content depth or breadth. It is suitable for developers, testers, or archivists interested in the technical aspects of file organization within the PINAX environment.
