BatchBuilder is the main tool used to organize content for deposit into DRS. A 'batch' is the group of files and directories that is sent to DRS for deposit. Each batch has at least one 'object' of some content model along with a descriptor file for each object that has technical, administrative, and preservation metadata for the object and any of its files. In order to be deposited, each batch also needs a file, batch.xml, that has information about all the objects in the batch. A batch can include objects of different content models, but more often than not, all the objects in a batch are all the same content model.
