BagIt Research Data (BIRD) repository	default

This is a demonstration project inspired by the BagIt standard for storage and network transfer of arbitrary digital content, including research data.

With research datasets represented as "Bags" with metadata in the bag-info.txt file, and the pointers to the actual data files on a download server listed in the fetch.txt file, writing a repository server becomes relatively simple. This project is an exploration into such a research data repository server.

At this moment it only includes a few examples with the BagIt metadata format; most of the examples here use various metadata schemas from other repositories. In the future I can imagine that tools could be implemented to convert the repository specific metadata (and manifest file list) to the BagIt specification.
