Description

System Files Metadata (Arke Institute Digital Collection)

Overview

The System Files Metadata item is a paired‑file set comprising a JSON metadata document and a macOS `.DSStore` binary asset. Created in 2023, it belongs to the test‑2 institution and is managed through the PINAX archival platform. The metadata file is written in English and describes the system files that form part of the Arke Institute’s digital preservation workflow. The binary asset is an application/octet‑stream file named `.DSStore` (6,148 bytes) that stores directory information used by macOS.

Background

The Arke Institute, a digital preservation organization, produced this metadata set to document the system files within its repository. The PINAX system generated the JSON file and linked it to the associated `.DS_Store` asset. No copyright restrictions are listed, and the access URL is a placeholder, indicating that the item is not publicly released. The provenance is clear: created by the Arke Institute, associated with the test‑2 institution, and sourced from PINAX.

Contents

  • Metadata File: A JSON document created in 2023, containing fields that identify the file type, language, subjects (“metadata,” “system files,” “digital preservation”), and institutional context.
  • Associated Asset: The `.DS_Store` binary file, 6,148 bytes, classified as an image asset with OCR not available.
  • Relationships: The metadata file references the `.DS_Store` asset and links to the Arke Institute and test‑2 institutions, establishing its role within the digital preservation workflow.

Scope

This item covers metadata describing system files within the Arke Institute’s digital repository. It does not contain the actual system files themselves but provides contextual information about them. The material is limited to the year 2023, the English language, and the institutional context of test‑2. Geographic coverage is not specified, as the content is purely digital. The item is relevant for researchers studying digital preservation practices, metadata standards, and macOS system file structures.

**Synthesis – connecting entities across sub‑directories**

- The **creators** (@substack, @nchimicles, @arke_institute) appear both as *metadata creators* (via the PINAX file) and as *platform hosts* for the underlying Substack posts (see the *posts* sub‑directory).  

- All **subjects** listed for the collection are shared with the *posts* and *newsletter_posts* sub‑directories, establishing a thematic bridge: the Substack platform, medieval‑European religious/economic analysis, and digital‑preservation concerns.  

- The **places** associated with the collection (European cities and regions) are also referenced in the *historical analysis* documents of the *posts* sub‑directory, linking geographic context to content.  

- The **newsletter‑posts dataset** (from the *newsletter_posts* sub‑directory) contains the same individual documents that are referenced in the *posts* sub‑directory (e.g., @post_125962878_coming_soon ↔ @coming_soon_announcements), illustrating material overlap across collections.  

- The **system‑files metadata** (e.g., @file_pinax) ties together the technical preservation layer with the scholarly content, reinforcing the collection’s dual focus on *content* and *digital stewardship*.  

---  

**Overall picture**

The **Test‑2 Collection** (@test_2_collection) aggregates:

1. **Content** – Substack tutorials, announcements, and historical essays (from the *posts* sub‑directory).  
2. **Newsletter data** – Structured dataset of newsletter posts and their source documents (from the *newsletter_posts* sub‑directory).  
3. **Technical assets** – Metadata and system files supporting digital preservation (from the *system_files* sub‑directory).  

These three strands converge on a shared set of **subjects**, **places**, and **creators**, forming a cohesive, cross‑source knowledge graph that captures both the scholarly themes and the infrastructural context of the collection.
