Specification Changes
Version 2.2.0 of the SIP specification introduces textual enhancements and clarifications, rectification of previously detected typographical errors, adjustments to the cardinality of certain METS elements, along with comprehensive reviews and updates to examples and METS profiles. Further, enhancements in indentation have been applied to augment the legibility of the examples.
Corrections
- Amended the text for requirement
SIP19
from 'The submitting agent has a note providing a unique identification code for the archival creator.' to 'The submitting agent has a note providing a unique identification code for the submitter.' [#126] - Altered the cardinality of the structMap element in the METS Profile from SHOULD to MUST. Owing to the absence of modifications in the element's cardinality by the SIP specification itself, this requirement was subsequently removed from the SIP specification. Additionally, the METS profile erroneously referenced CSIP_3 instead of the structMap requirement CSIP_80. [#115]
