BagIt (for ruby)

Based on the BagItspec v0.96.

Supported Features:

  • bag compiling
  • manifest & tagmanifest generation
  • generation of tag files bag-info.txt and bagit.txt
  • fetching remote files (fetch.txt)
  • bag validation

Installation

% gem install bagit validatable

The rubyforge gem is deprecated.

Example: making a bag

require 'bagit'

# make a new bag at base_path
bag = BagIt::Bag.new base_path

# make a new file
bag.add_file("samplefile") do |io|
  io.puts "Hello Bag!"
end

# generate the manifest and tagmanifest files
bag.manifest!

Example: validating an existing bag

bag = BagIt::Bag.new existing_base_path

if bag.valid?
  puts "#{existing_base_path} is valid"
else
  puts "#{existing_base_path} is not valid"
end

TODO

  • command line tools for common tasks
  • better holy bag (fetch.txt) generation
  • better error reporting.
  • poor mans' checksum
