AIP export functionality does not reduce costs #21

Closed shsdev closed 5 years ago

Review comment (Chapter 3): We believe that AIP export functionality does not really reduce costs, since the destination repository needs to handle the exported AIP in a same way as a new SIP to update its internal data structures. Further, the destination repository may need two ingest workflows; one for SIPs and one for AIPs which most likely increases development costs.

The actual intention of a common AIP format would be that archival systems "understand" the AIP, i.e. exporting AIPs would in principle not be necessary. The AIP export function is therefore a compromise if natively supporting the AIP format is not desired.
