3.1 Labelling of Media

All media sent to PROV must be uniquely labelled internally and externally.

The required external physical label format is:

<Transfer Job Id> <Agency Id> <Date> <Disc No>/<Total Discs>
(e.g. ‘TR 6/2006 VA123 20030319 1/3’)

where:

Transfer Job Id is the PROV assigned transfer job identifier
Agency Id is the PROV assigned agency number
Date is the date the media was written in the format ‘YYYYMMDD’
Disc No is the sequence number of this piece of media produced in the run
Total Discs is the total number of discs produced in that run.

The required internal label for CDs or DVDs is the existence of a file in the root directory on the CD or DVD. The file is to be named ‘Label.txt’. The contents of this file are to be the same as the external label format specified above.

When writing a tape, the internal label must conform to the ‘ANSI’ label format ISO 1001:1986 [ISO] if the software and hardware producing the tape supports that format.
