Nice, thanks for the link.

Archivematica can process pretty much anything as a SIP. All you need
is a folder with files (including zipped files if desired) in it.
However, the question would be whether we could use the metadata
provided with the DSPace AIP in a meaningful way, since as you know we
have our own DC metadata template and we generate a mets file with
PREMIS elements as the SIP is processed through ingest.

We are still working on the structure of our AIP in Archivematica.
However, one standard that has been of interest to us is the
Repository eXchange Package (RXP) spec produced by the TIPR project
(see
http://swiki.fcla.edu:8000/TIPR/21). We may want our AIP
structure to be compatible with that to allow easy exchange of AIPs
between systems.

Actually we are currently working on a project with a partner
institution which will require us to upload DIPs from Archivematica
directly to contentDM. Work on this is in the preliminary stage but we
hope to have the interface completed by the end of this year. In terms
of other workflows (DSpace AIPs into Archivematica etc.) we would
probably need to find a partner institution willing to fund the
development of features like that.
