Migration Path for Complex Objects Created in METS

[BCDigLib]

We need to migrate the over 5007 complex objects in our current repository to HyBox. Our complex objects include anywhere from one to hundreds of constituent files, each with multiple manifestations (master, reference image, index, etc.) The physical formats are photographs, individual manuscripts, and archival files**. Our current repository exports METS that we hope can (1) be ingested into HyBox either “as is” or after a transformation to PCDM or some other schema and (2) delivered to the user without further work after the ingest. Our METS application profile is fairly generic and straightforward. A typical example of one of our objects is http://dcollections.bc.edu/webclient/DeliveryManager?pid=437063

We'd be delighted to work on transformations or other tasks to help move this forward.

**The term archival file as it is used here refers not to a physical folder, but rather to one of the four levels of the ISAD(G) descriptive framework that recognizes four levels: fonds, series, file, and item. ISAD(G) is an internationally agreed metadata structure standard which ensures consistency across archival finding aids to enhance resource discovery.
