[Dspace-general] Archiving files when folder structure is important

[Ryan Clark]

Hello -

I've just installed the current version of DSpace and have taken a
brief look at the JSPUI. I'm trying to figure out if this would be
appropriate for my organization. The difficulty is that the folder
structure and relationships between files is important for much of the
data we'd like to archive.

Out-of-the-box I couldn't find an easy way to archive things in this
way aside from perhaps submitting the files as compressed archives. I
have read a little about "bundles" but haven't found any clear
implementation of them in the JSPUI. Am I overlooking something? Is
DSpace an appropriate archive solution for datasets where folder
structure must be maintained?

Thanks,
Ryan
