Representations directory the data folder The representations directory contains at least one representation of geodata in a long term preservation format (GML for vector and GeoTIFF for Raster) and all additional information that is needed to properly render the information as described in the SIP SMURF92 format for SFSB. When creating a DIP containing extremely large datasets (more than 1 GB), we can experience difficulties in the validation process of such an XML file or with file manipulation. If the dataset was already split during the ingest (SIP) or data maintenance (AIP) process, we might need to combine it into one package, or use an appropriate strategy to present and deliver the data to the user. We can use the reverse of the process that was used during the Ingest process (should be described in PREMIS or in the Export section of the documentation). The same is required in the reverse process – when combining the data, the process needs to be described in the Export section of documentation and/or in PREMIS.

Information needed for proper rendering of geodata can contain the elements described in the following sections.
