This screen allows you to start accessing the Metis Sandbox functionality. Here you can track an existing dataset, request information about a record within that dataset or create a new dataset. It looks like this:

...

A. Page Indicator: indicates that "Track Dataset Processing" is the current step.  Once other steps become available then clicking this will return you to this step.
B. Dataset Id Input: used to enter the id of a previously uploaded dataset.
C. Record Id Input: used to enter the id of a record within the specified dataset. It enables when a dataset id is entered.
D. Create New Dataset Link: enables and navigates to the “Upload a new Dataset” functionality (see below).
E. Track link. This link enables when a dataset id is entered and, when clicked, takes you to the “Track Dataset Processing” functionality (see below) for the dataset with this dataset id.
F. Issues (Overview) link. This link enables when a dataset id is entered and, when clicked, takes you to the “Problem Patterns” functionality (see below) for the dataset with this dataset id.
G. Issues (Record) link. This link enables when a record id is entered and, when clicked, takes you to the “Problem Patterns” functionality (see below) for the record with this record id.
H. Tier Report link. This link enables when a record id is entered and, when clicked, takes you to the “Record Report” functionality (see below) for the record with this record id.

...

The “Upload Dataset” view looks like this:.

...

A. Step Indicator: indicates that "Upload Database" is the current step.  If you switch to another step then clicking this will return you to this step.
B. The dataset name input field.  A dataset name is valid if it contains only letters, digits and the underscore character (‘_’).
C. The dataset country drop-down.
D. The dataset language drop-down.
E. The harvest protocol radio button set.
F. The zip file input.  This appears because “file upload” is the selected protocol.  If the selected protocol is changed to “OAI-PMH upload” or “HTTP upload” then an alternative field (or set of fields) will appear here.
G. Step size field.
H. An (optional) checkbox to specify that you want the Metis Sandbox Server to transform your dataset using XSLT.  If selected then a file input will appear below it allowing you to upload an XSL file.
I. The “Submit” button: enables when all the (obligatory) fields have been completed.
J. Step Indicator (inactive): clicking this will take you to the “Track Dataset Processing” step.

Enter a descriptive name for your dataset in the input field below “Name”. Only letters, digits and the underscore character (‘_’) are supported. You can select the country and language of the dataset with the dropdown menus.

...

The “zip file” protocol is selected by default. This option allows you to upload a zip file with a dataset that is stored locally.

...

Note that, even though it is not currently possible to upload multiple zip files, you can still achieve the same result by wrapping all your zip files in one new zip file. The application fully supports nested zip files (i.e. zip files of zip files).

6.2.2 OAI-PMH

To use the harvest protocol to OAI-PMH, you should enter values for the harvest URL, the metadata format, and optionally a value for Setspec.

...

A submitted dataset id will bring up the track dataset processing view. It will also change the page’s url to reflect the id of the dataset processing being displayed.  The dataset processing view looks like the picture below.

...

A. The dataset name.  The tick after the dataset name indicates that processing is complete
B. An (optional) flag indicating whether the dataset was xsl-transformed.
C. The processing date, preceded by an (optional) flag indicating that not all records in the dataset were processed.
D. The country and language of the dataset selected when the dataset was uploaded.
E. The processing steps performed on the dataset (they correspond to the list of items just below, element F).
F. The details of the processing steps performed on the dataset.
G. The (optional) warning indicating that not all records in the dataset were processed. See “step size” above for more information.
H. The (not enabled) record id field.
I. The dataset ID of the current dataset.
J. A link to the dataset preview as it would look like on Europeana.

...

The colours of each step indicate how successful this step was:

  • Green: (success) - the step completed without errors, and all records are considered suitable for ingestion

  • Yellow: (non-critical warning) - problems with the records have been detected, but the records could still be processed.

  • Red: (critical warning) - more serious problems with the records have been detected, and (some of) these records could not continue their path through the pipeline. These should longer be considered for ingestion (in their current form).

...

Shown below is an example of a dataset that processed with many errors:

...

A. A link to the errors window
B. The bold font of the number indicates that this is another link to the errors window
C. No report is available for this error, so the the number does not have a bold font and there is no link to the errors window

...

You can search for a record using either of these record ids, so the “Report” button will enable itself when any sequence of non-whitespace characters has been entered into the record id field.  If, however, the UI detects that you’ve entered an id that matches the format of a valid Europeana record id, then it will show a line connecting the record id with the dataset id, as shown here:

...

A. The record id begins with a slash followed by the dataset id, so the id fields are shown as connected.
B. Both the record id field’s submit buttons (“Tier Report” and “Issues (Record)”) are enabled. You can now open the record report by clicking the button labelled “Tier Report”.

...

In the illustration below the computed values are “3” (for the content tier) and “A” (for the metadata tier).

...

A. Page Indicator: the inactive "Track Dataset Processing" orb, indicates that this page is not active and, if clicked, will return the user to the dataset tracking page.
B. The Record Report summary: top-level information about this record as well as record download links.
C. Tier Navigation Orbs: you can toggle between the content and the media tier report from here.
D. Content Tier Information: data about the record's content tier.
E. Media Navigation Orbs: you can navigate multiple media items from here.
F. Processing Errors: record processing error information appears here.
G. Page Indicator: indicates that "Record Report" is the current page (via its orange colour) and that the form below is “clean” (via its tick icon).

...

Clicking “Issues (Overview)”, next to the dataset id input field (A) , will open a problem viewer page for the whole dataset. Clicking “Issues (Record)” (B)will open a problem viewer page for an individual record.
