Description
In our E-ARK AIP packages, we use UUIDs to identify files.
During validation (using profile 2.2.0), we encounter the following error:
"specification": "AIP-",
"id": "AIP9",
"name": "File ID",
"location": "file/@id",
"description": "Identifier of a file which is part of the AIP File identifier; must be unique and start with the prefix ID",
"cardinality": "0..1",
"level": "MUST",
"testing": {
"outcome": "FAILED",
"issues": [
"The mets/fileSec/fileGrp/file/@id must start with ID in uuid-aa3dd72c-9a2d-4dd4-b9f6-3b5fae69295cdoes not start with ID"
],
"warnings": [],
"notes": []
}
However, this validation rule (AIP9) does not appear in the official AIP specification at https://earkaip.dilcis.eu/, and it is unclear which rule this check is based on.
In our understanding, using a prefix in file identifiers is recommended but not mandatory. Moreover, the documentation explicitly mentions UUIDs (without the "ID" prefix) as an alternative example.
See section 5.1.7 of the AIP specification 2.2.0: https://earkaip.dilcis.eu/#metsidentifier
Here is an example of the fileSec from our package that triggers the error:
