eArchiving Validation Service

The eArchiving Validation Service allows validating individual information packages.

Currently there are two validators:

  • Commons-ip Validator (Java-based)
  • PyIP Validator (Python-based)

Both validators verify the conformance of package structure and the metadata against the E-ARK specifications for CSIP, SIP, and DIP.

You can use the online instance of the eArchiving Validation Service available at:

Or download the software components to perform the validation locally:
