These files may include information about file relationships within an opaque object, documentation of original order, licenses or donor agreements, etc. Files describing original order or rights should be named according to the following guidelines.
Documenting original order
In keeping with archival practice, depositors are encouraged to document the original order and structure of files as they are submitted to them, especially when large file sets are split into separate opaque objects. The DRS documentation file that documents the original order should conform to the recommended formats listed above, and be deposited with all relevant opaque objects (those split from the original order). The file names of these files should start with the prefix drs_documentation_original_order.
Documenting rights
It is recommended that Donor agreements and other licenses should be loaded as separate objects to the DRS, before the opaque objects are loaded. See Section 19. Adding Licenses, Documentation and Other Supporting Content for more information. When opaque objects are created in Batch Builder, an object URN of the related rights object can be inserted in object Optional metadata panel.
