Verify numbers of files in CSV and Zip match as part of CSV/Zip deposit method
As part of the CSV/Zip deposit method, Rosetta verifies that all files in the CSV are in the Zip. It does not, however, check if all files in the Zip are listed in the CSV.
We recently discovered that for 5 of our IEs, the CSVs were incomplete and missing a few thousand files. Even though the Zips contained more files, the deposits went through successfully and the files not listed in the CSVs were not preserved.
I propose that as part of the deposit process, Rosetta checks the number of files in both the CSV and Zip and verify…

Web Service for Bagit ingest to automate the whole process
Beginend from Rosetta version 5.2 functionality for Bagit must be improved in further versions. Especially a new web service for Bagit ingest must be developed, because no one want to do manual ingest per GUI interface the whole day if there are a lot of Bagits waiting to be deposited. My option is to improve submitDepositActivity so it can recognise Bagit Structure and so on. Or if it is to complicated to rebuild submitDepositActivity, than to develop a new one. Hope to see this web service in a near future. Sincerely yours, Serhiy

Option to check fixity on export
Currently, when you export a file, REP or IE from Rosetta you will get an error if there is a problem with exporting the file. However, we have had at least one instance where the file seemed to export without issue but the file couldn't be opened (it was corrupt) and we were able to see that the checksum of the file did not match the checksum stored in Rosetta for that file. This helped us diagnose an issue with the way our storage layer was delivering the file. If Rosetta included an optional checksum calculation on export (the type…

Use .LOCKED file or similar while IE export is still in progress
When exporting large IEs with multiple REPs, it is hard to tell whether the export is finished or not. This becomes especially problematic when running an external automatic job which pulls IEs from the export directory before export has actually been completed.
It would be beneficial to flag a partially exported IE, e.g. via a .LOCKED file which is deleted once the export is complete.7 votes -
Add Error Logs to Preservation Plans and Preservation Executions/ Technical Issues
while working with preservation plans, testing alternatives I would appreciate to have more information about problematic IEs. Error Logs like in Submissions/Technical Issues/ would be helpful. Please add "View Errors".

Closed Caption capabilities
We are creating MP4 deliverables with soft embedded 'Closed captioning'. In addition, we have the WebVTT file used to create the 'closed captioning'.
We would like the OOB Videojs to allow customers to switch on/off closed captioning. At the moment this capability is not present in the OOB viewer. This support is available for VideoJS - https://github.com/videojs/video.js/blob/master/docs/guides/text-tracks.md. This functionality needs to be added as an enhancement to the VideoJS player and any new OOB Video players
This is also accessibility issue that we need to address

Events for DNX Validation
with version 6.0 DNX validation was introduced for METS deposits and any AIP update. Furthermore the .xsd will be versioned. As for now I cannot find any event describing the validation process, the name and version of .xsd used for validation, the agent, the event outcome (success). I would appreciate events documenting this validation. In my opinion this is worth a provenance event, like file format identification event 25.

Add "View Migrated Objects" to Preservation Executions History
as a preservation manager I would appreciate to find the history of the execution of signed-off preservation plans in one place. Therefore it would be helpful to have the list of migrated IEs ( the report of event 355 - Representation was added by preservation plan) in Preservation/Preservation Executions/Signed-off Plans/Executions History/Blocks History, for example as "View Migrated Objects" in addition to "View Skipped Objects".

exportIE() WebAPI / file permissions of exported IEs
At SLUB, we currently use the IE export feature via API. The webservice is called using an export path that points to an NFS share, which itself is shared between the Rosetta cluster and the Submission Application servers that run ingest and access tasks. One of those tasks is to extract exported IE .tars, restructure them to resemble their original structure as provided by the producer, provide the result to the producer and (this is key) remove the exported .tar, as it is no longer needed. Now, whenever Rosetta exports an IE, the resulting .tar archive is created on that…

Save Set information for repeated Processes
Save Set information for repeated Processes
When setting up a recurring Process that uses a Set with different values each time, Rosetta does not keep a record of the Set values each time it is generated, so that you cannot Rerun the previous Process instances in History. We propose a change to the recording of Set metadata so that each time a Set is used, its values are stored, thus allowing a Historical Process to be rerun at a later date. An example is rolling fixity checks, wherein a different range of SIPs are checked each day using the same…

Size stats about IE/REP in results view
I would like an easier was to see the size of an IE/REP both in number of files and storage size. Right now, the only way I can see to get the size of the IE in terms of storage is to search at the file level for all files in that IE and then export the results to CSV and add up the size column (in bytes). Same goes for number of files except you can also see them when you’re in the Meditor in the metadata for the Rep. It doesn't seem like adding at least the number…

Order of directories/files in Create Logical structMap task
Currently, when you use the Create Logical StructMap task (which we use to reconstruct a folder hierarchy for born-digital files in the CSV/zip and Bagit deposit methods) the resulting order of directories and files contained within those directories is random. We would like the system to either retain the original order of the files as they are in the zip/bag or sort them alphanumerically.

Export Sets of Files
Rosetta offers an IE level export task that can be used with IE level sets and exports the whole IE/Representation. What we need in addition, is a file level export task. It should be possible to export sets of files (itemized sets based on a list of FL IDs, or logical sets based on search criteria, e.g. IE PID and file extension) to a given export path. Subdirectory name could be the set ID.
To date, the only options are file download – one at time – or IE export, which means unpacking the Rep.tar containers and selecting the required…

Searching for Derivative Copies
As a Preservation System, Rosetta does not record any detail relating to Derivative Copy content in the METS. This is not inconsistent with Digital Preservation philosophy, but it does mean that Derivative Copy contents cannot be discovered using a Search Query or API calls from external applications. This seems to conflict with Ex Libris’ spruiking of Rosetta as a DAMS, since all content within a traditional DAMS (including Derivative material) can to be searched and accessed using standardized queries. If the DAMS operability is going to be further developed in Rosetta, will Ex Libris add further functionality to discover Derivative…

Expand the search scope of the search box on web collection page
Is it possible to expand the search scope of the search box on web collection page from the current collection to all its sub-collections and itself?
For example, I tried to search IE2119194 by its partial title "South Korea's economic puzzle" on the following page;
but no matching IEs were found, because the IE belongs to the collection(id=109127824)'s sub-sub-sub collection(138846884).
- 109127824 > 138830885 > 138834664 > 138846884

Create task/job for adding/updating file-level metadata
I know I can add file-level descriptive metadata (DC) individually to a file in the back office or use the web services to do that for many files at once, but I want to be able to add metadata to a batch of files using a process in the back office. In my case, I would be adding the same DC record to a large group of files but I can also see the need to have a different DC per file so I would send Rosetta a bunch of DC XML files - one for each file PID, similar…

Pass hostname and port into publishing XSL
Currently the XSLs in "Administration" -> "Configuration files" -> "XSL Transforms" -> "Publishing" require hardcoded hostnames and ports (because hostnames and ports are required by links going out by OAI-PMH). This requirement means that we can't use the same XSL on both the STAGING and PROD but need to make changes between the two.
Hostname and port should be passed in as parameters to the XSL, so that these don't need to be changed.
