The BagIt File Packaging Format
RFC 8493, “The BagIt File Packaging Format”, is an Informational document published in October 2018 by J. Kunze, J. Littman, E. Madden, J. Scancella, C. Adams. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document describes BagIt, a set of hierarchical file layout conventions for storage and transfer of arbitrary digital content. A "bag" has just enough structure to enclose descriptive metadata "tags" and a file "payload" but does not require knowledge of the payload's internal semantics. This BagIt format is suitable for reliable storage and transfer.
