The archiving tool box is a suite of tools for the creation of information packages for archival purposes. The archival information package must follow the structure defined by the E-ARK specification for information packages (CSIP available at https://earkcsip.dilcis.eu).

| Information package {Persistent Unique Identifier} |

| - representations/ | <--- Representations
| - text_representation/ |

| - metadata/ |
| - documentation/ |
|-------------------------------------------------------|
| - schemas/ | <--- Schema files for validation
| - IP_CS_mets.xsd |
| - premis-v2-2.xsd |
| - xlink.xsd |
|-------------------------------------------------------|
| - METS.xml | <--- Root METS file (structural metadata)

The archiving toolbox allows creating an information package based on files which are organized according to the structure of a CSIP. It will validate the structure and create METS metadata representing the structure of the package and PREMIS metadata which allows recording the provenance of it.
