- Prepare a batch of page images and (optionally) accompanying machine readable text files and put them in a directory of your choice somewhere on local hard disk or network drive. If you have more than one file per page image (e.g.: an archival master and a deliverable or an archival master, a deliverable and a thumbnail) make sure file names match (e.g.: file1.tif, file1.jp2 and file1.jpg). The file names of text files should match the file names of the page images files as well (e.g.: file1.tif, file1.jp2 file1.jpg, file1.txt).
- Make sure all the files names have appended PDS sequence numbers. The syntax used in BB2: [fileBaseName]_ [sequence_number].[extension]. E.g.: file1 1.jpg, file2 _2.jpg, etc. Alternatively, instead of supplying appended sequence numbers you can provide them via the external mapping file called mapping.txt. See Section 15. Using External Mapping Files to Supply ownerSuppliedNames, Page Sequence Numbers and Aleph IDs for more information.
- Decide what you will use for Owner Supplied Names (OSNs) for your object and the digital image files it consists of. For instance, you could use local classification or local accession numbers or an ALEPH ID.
- Make sure that the object OSNs are supplied for each file by one of the following methods:
- Append the object prefix to each file name (the syntax is [objprefix]--[fileBaseName]_ _[pageSeq].[ext]). Set the desired file name pattern objects in the BB Options dialog (see Section 1.2.2 for File name pattern options in the Installation and Setup section for more information).
- Supply an external mapping file that maps each file to object (see Section 15.1 for more information).
- Append the object prefix to each file name (the syntax is [objprefix]--[fileBaseName]_ _[pageSeq].[ext]). Set the desired file name pattern objects in the BB Options dialog (see Section 1.2.2 for File name pattern options in the Installation and Setup section for more information).
