Test Files Collection
Overview
The
Test Files Collection is a concise digital archive comprising two files: a plain‑text document (`test.txt`) and a JSON metadata file (`pinax.json`). Catalogued in English, the collection serves as a placeholder or demonstration set for the PINAX platform. It contains no additional descriptive metadata beyond what is provided in the JSON file, and no rights or institutional information is specified.
Background
Created for testing purposes within the PINAX system—a framework used for ingesting and managing digital content—the collection demonstrates basic file ingestion, metadata linking, and collection structuring. The JSON file (`pinax.json`) functions as an inline metadata record, associating the plain‑text file with the collection and providing essential descriptive fields such as title, format, and source. The absence of creator, institution, or creation date indicates that the collection is a synthetic example rather than a curated archival unit.
Contents
- `test.txt` – A single plain‑text file, presumably containing placeholder or test text.
- `pinax.json` – A JSON document that records the collection’s metadata and establishes relationships between the two files. It specifies the collection’s title (“Test Files Collection”), its description (“A collection containing a single test text file.”), language (“en”), and source (“PINAX”). It also defines the relationship that `test.txt` is part of the collection and that `pinax.json` documents the collection.
Scope
The collection covers only a single text file and its accompanying metadata. It is not tied to any specific geographic location, time period, or subject matter beyond its role as a test artifact. The collection’s scope is intentionally narrow, serving as a basic example for demonstrating file ingestion, metadata linking, and collection structuring within the PINAX environment.
