System Files Metadata (Arke Institute Digital Archive)
Overview
This item is a small collection of system files that document the internal structure and metadata of the Arke Institute’s digital archive. It contains three files stored in the `system
files` directory: a plain‑text metadata record, a JSON file describing key entities, and a binary `.DSStore` file. The files were created between 2023 and 2025 and are referenced by a CDN URL and an IPFS content identifier.
Background
The Arke Institute, a research organization focused on digital preservation, produced these files as part of its archival documentation. The primary metadata file was generated in 2023 to describe the system files within the archive. A subsequent JSON file, produced by an OpenAI GPT‑OSS 120B model on 2025‑11‑12, enumerates key entities such as the institute itself and references to the two system files. The binary `.DS_Store` file is a standard macOS metadata file, stored on a CDN and referenced by an IPFS CID.
Contents
- System Files Metadata – A plain‑text file (id 01K9WRAG3RYJKK0QHQVJBYRE7R) containing descriptive fields (title, creator, institution, subjects, etc.).
- Entity JSON – A structured JSON document listing the Arke Institute organization, two file entities (File Pinax and File Ds Store), and processing statistics (token counts, entity counts, timestamp).
- .DS_Store – A 6,148‑byte binary file located at a CDN URL, with an IPFS content identifier for distributed storage.
