Phase 1 Test Reorganization Collection

Overview - What this is (form, dates, scope)

This collection contains metadata and test files related to a 2023 reorganization initiative focused on Phase 1 schema and field testing. It includes technical documentation for structuring archival data, relationship mappings between entities, and metadata describing the collection itself. The materials reflect efforts to validate schema frameworks for digital preservation or archival management systems.

Background - Relevant context about creation/provenance

Linked to the Arke Institute via metadata, the collection was created in 2023 as part of a systematic test of archival schema structures. While the specific creator and institutional workflows remain unidentified, the materials are part of a broader "Phase 1" testing program, with sub-components like "Phase 1a" schema validation. The PINAX metadata file connects this collection to related entities, including the "phase1testreorganizationcollection" and "reorganization_event" codes.

Contents - What's in it, key subjects and details

Key components include:

• Test files: A plain text file (`test-phase1a.txt`) labeled for "Phase 1a schema testing," used to evaluate "type" field functionality.
• Entity relationships: A JSON file mapping entities (e.g., "phase1aschematestcollection," "arke_institute") to codes, illustrating connections between test files, projects, and institutional ties.
• Metadata: A PINAX JSON file detailing the collection’s title, subjects ("Schema," "Test," "Phase 1," "Phase 1a"), creation date (2023), and an access URL.

Scope - Coverage (dates, geography, topics, what's included/excluded)

Focused on 2023 testing activities for Phase 1 (including Phase 1a) schema development, the collection excludes substantive archival content beyond technical test files and metadata. Geographically specific details are absent, and institutional documentation is limited to the Arke Institute’s repository reference. The scope is strictly technical, emphasizing schema validation for digital systems rather than broader archival practices. Rights information and detailed creator records remain unspecified.
