Ingest

In Enduro, Ingest is defined as a phase in a preservation workflow describing all the preservation policy-defined tasks performed on a SIP when it is received from a producer, prior to preservation. Typically this phase covers validation activities (performed against SIP files, structure, and/or metadata) as well as any package transformations (removal of unneeded or temporary files, restructuring, etc) to optimize the package for further processing by the preservation engine.

Enduro provides a minimal Default ingest workflow that organizations can extend with child workflows.
