  1. PAWN: Producer-Archive Workflow Network University of MarylandInstitute for Advanced Computer StudiesJoseph Ja’Ja, Mike Smorul, Mike McGann

  2. Ingestion Process • Producer: An organization or entity that creates records to be archived • Record selection • Package creation • Transmission • Validation • Approval or rejection of package contents • Storage into archival system

  3. What is PAWN? • Software that provides an ingestion framework • Handles the process • From package assembly • To archival storage • Simple interface for end-users • Flexible interface for archive managers • Designed for use in multiple contexts

  4. Administration Overview • Organizational hierarchy • Record schedules • User roles • User accounts • Record sets • Authorize users • Approve or reject submissions • Push approved data to archival system

  5. Organization hierarchy • Domains: Logical unit of administration and delegation • Domain contains its own set of: • Producers • Record schedules • Record sets • Managers • Each producer belongs to a domain. • Each manager controls actions within a specific domain. • Domains can contain additional subdivisions

  6. Example • Domain: Department of Agriculture • Division: Economic Research Service • Division: Agricultural Marketing Service • Division: Department of Defense • Domain: Defense Logistics Agency • Domain: Department of the Navy

  7. Record Schedules • List of disposition authorities • Contents of packages map to an authority • Example: • USGS • Geospatial, Cartographic, Remote Sensing… • Authority: Data Layers by USGS (1201-01c) • Authority: Documentation (1201-01e)

  8. User Roles • Determines availability of services • Create record schedules? • Create users? • View packages? • Reject or approve packages? • Submit packages? • Administrator, Records Creator, Records Liaison Officer, Records Manager

  9. Record Sets • Producers are presented with record sets • Logical archive units • Map producer-friendly categories to archive-friendly disposition authorities • Record set has a group of allowed users

  10. Example • Record Set: Avian Point Counts • Category: Tabular Data • Maps to: Data Layers by USGS (1201-01c) • Category: Vector Data • Maps to: Data Layers by USGS (1201-01c) • Category: FGDC Metadata • Maps to: Documentation (1201-01e)

  11. Producer Workflow Overview • Stage required data • Select record set • Use builder to assemble package • Submit package to archive

  12. Package Builders • Different builders can be used for different data • Default builder provided • Customized builders could: • Automatically identify metadata • Convert data or metadata • Automatically structure data • Example: ICDL Book builder

  13. Package Workflow Overview • Manager views list of packages • Newly received packages need approval • Once approved, packages can be archived • Rejected packages can be held until rectified or deleted for a resubmission • Audit trail tracks all workflow steps
