Libraries to provide support for the use of Bagit bags and Bagit Profiles
Bag Profiles
The BagIt Support library complies with version 1.3.0 of the Bagit profiles specification and includes the following bag profiles:
Because these profiles are built in, we do our best to keep them up to date, but they may occasionally need to be updated.
BagIt Profile Json
The BagIt Support library uses bagit profiles which have json compliant to that of the bagit profiles spec. In order to support constraints on custom tag files, a section called Other-Info is used to provide additional contraints. The Other-Info section is composed of a list of json objects, each of which should be titled for the "tag" file, e.g. APTrust-Info, and have each of its fields outlined which share the same parameter types as in the Bag-Info section.
Aptrust Other-Info
"Other-Info" : [{
"APTrust-Info": {
"Title": {
"required": true,
"description": "The title to be used"
},
"Access": {
"required": true,
"values": ["Consortia", "Institution", "Restricted"]
},
"Storage-Option": {
"required": true,
"values": [
"Standard",
"Glacier-OH",
"Glacier-OR",
"Glacier-VA",
"Glacier-Deep-OH",
"Glacier-Deep-OR",
"Glacier-Deep-VA"
]
}
}
}]
Using A Built In Profile
The BagProfile class provides three constructors:
- A default constructor which uses the
beyondtherepositoryprofile. - A constructor which takes a
BagProfile.BuiltInspecifying a built in profile to use. - A constructor which takes an
InputStream. This is intended to be the json content of the BagIt profile and allows for external profiles to be used.
e.g. Using a Built In Profile
final String profileIdentifier = "beyondtherepository";
final BagProfile.BuiltIn builtInProfile = BagProfile.BuiltIn.from(profileIdentifier);
final BagProfile profile = new BagProfile(builtInProfile);
Loading A Custom Bag Profile
As mentioned above, the BagProfile constructor only takes an InputStream, so if you want to use a custom Bagit Profile, all you need to do is provide the InputStream for your json schema.
final BagProfile profile;
final Path json = Paths.get("/profiles/bagit-profile.json");
try (InputStream is = Files.newInputStream(json)) {
profile = new BagProfile(is);
}
Validating A Bag
The BagProfile has the capabilities to validate that a Bag (read by the gov.loc bagit library) conforms to its standard. In order to use this validation, the BagProfile#validate(Bag) should be uesd. If validation fails, a RuntimeException is thrown describing what sections failed to validate.
final Path bag = Paths.get("/bags/my-really-cool-bag");
final BagReader reader = new BagReader();
try {
final Bag readBag = reader.read(bag);
profile.validateBag(readBag);
} catch (UnparsableVersionException | MaliciousPathException | UnsupportedAlgorithmException |
InvalidBagitFileFormatException e) {
log.error("Unable to read bag", e);
}
Validating A BagConfig
In addition to the validation on a Bag, a BagProfile can also validate a BagConfig before the process of writing begins in order to verify that all the tag files used will be compliant with a given BagProfile. If a BagConfig fails to validate, a RuntimeException is thrown.
final Path yaml = Paths.get("/config/sample-bag.yml");
final BagConfig config = new BagConfig(yaml.toFile());
profile.validateConfig(config);
Bag Writing
In order to help write Bagit bags, a basic BagWriter is provided which only writes the metadata (tag files, manifests) of a bag. It requires the user to populate the payload files for a bag as well as track what the checksums are for each payload file. A bagit.txt is generated by default but all other tag files must have data provided, including the bag-info.txt, otherwise they will not be written. The BagConfig class can be used to help assist with loading values for tag files such as the bag-info.txt.
The BagWriter comes with a few methods to help populate tag files for the bag:
public void registerChecksums(final String algorithm, final Map<File, String> filemap)
public void addTags(final String key, final Map<String, String> values)
Writing a Bag
final Long bytesWritten;
final Long filesWritten;
final Path bag = Paths.get("/bags/sample-bag")
final Path yaml = Paths.get("/config/sample-bag.yml")
final BagItDigest sha1 = BagItDigest.SHA1;
final Map<File, String> sha1Checksums = new HashMap<>();
// work to populate data directory
...
// configure the BagWriter
final BagWriter writer = new BagWriter(bag, Set.of(sha1.bagitName());
writer.registerChecksums(sha1.bagitName(), sha1Checksums());
// register tag files
final BagConfig config = new BagConfig(yaml.toFile());
config.getTagFiles().forEach(filename -> writer.addTags(filename, config.getFieldsForTagFile(filename));
// finish the bag-info.txt with information from populating the data directory
Map<String, String> info = writer.getTags(BagConfig.BAG_INFO_KEY);
Map<String, String> generatedo = Map.of(BagConfig.BAG_SIZE_KEY, byteCountToDisplaySize(bytesWritten),
BagConfig.PAYLOAD_OXUM_KEY, bytesWritten.toString() + "." + filesWritten.toString(),
BagConfig.BAGGING_DATE_KEY, DateTimeFormatter.ISO_LOCAL_DATE.format(LocalDate.now())
writer.addTags(BagConfig.BAG_INFO_KEY, info.putAll(generated));
writer.write();

Serialization
The BagIt Support library can assist with serialization and deserialization of Bagit bags.
Supported formats are:
- zip: zip, application/zip
- tar: tar, application/tar, application/x-tar, application/gtar, application/x-gtar
- gzip (only tar+gz when serializing): tgz, gzip, tar+gzip, application/gzip, application/x-gzip, application/x-compressed-tar
Because gzip is a compression/decompression format, when deserializing gzip only decompression occurs. This means that it will require more space to decompress a tar+gzip bag because it will first decompress the gzip portion, then extract the tar archive.
The SerializationSupport class offers helper methods for instantiating the correct BagSerializer or BagDeserializer depending on what is passed in:
public static BagSerializer serializerFor(final String contentType, final BagProfile profile)
public static BagDeserializer deserializerFor(final Path serializedBag, final BagProfile profile)
Serializing Bags
When retrieving a BagSerializer, the correct serializer is created based on the given contentType and BagProfile. If the contentType is not supported by either the BagProfile or the SerializationSupport class, a RuntimeException is thrown.
final Path bag = Paths.get("/bags/my-really-cool-bag");
final String contentType = "zip";
final BagProfile profile = new BagProfile(getProfileInputStream());
final BagSerializer serializer = SerializationSupport.serializerFor(contentType, profile);
final Path serialized = serializer.serialize(bag);
Deserializing Bags
Retrieving the BagDeserializer is similar to the BagSerializer. When attempting to find the appropriate BagDeserializer to use, the apache tika library is used in order to read the content type of the Path. If a BagProfile does not support the found content type, a RuntimeException is once again thrown, and if the SerializationSupport does not have built in support for the content type, an UnsupportedOperationException is thrown.
final Path bag = Paths.get("/bags/my-really-cool-bag.tar.gz");
final BagProfile profile = new BagProfile(getProfileInputStream());
final BagSerializer deserializer = SerializationSupport.deserializerFor(bag, profile);
final Path deserialized = deserializer.deserialize(bag);
