Test Files Collection

Overview

The Test Files Collection is a minimal digital archive comprising two files: a plain‑text document (`test.txt`) and a JSON metadata file (`pinax.json`). The collection is catalogued in English and is intended 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

The collection was created for testing purposes within the PINAX system, a framework used for ingesting and managing digital content. The JSON file (`pinax.json`) serves as an inline metadata record, linking the plain‑text file to the collection and providing basic descriptive fields such as title, format, and source. No creator, institution, or creation date is recorded, indicating that the collection is likely 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. The JSON 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.
