About:
Bagit is a Python library that implements the BagIt specification for packaging digital content with checksums for fixity. It creates, manipulates, and validates bags to ensure data integrity during transfers and archival. This tool is essential for reliable digital preservation workflows.
Key Features:
  • Creates and validates BagIt-compliant packages
  • Generates and verifies checksums for data integrity
  • Supports both simple and fetch.txt-based bags
  • Command-line interface for easy automation
Use Cases:
  • Digital preservation and archival workflows
  • Secure data transfer between systems
  • Creating reproducible research data packages
Alternatives:
  • rdflib – RDF-focused library, not specialized for BagIt packaging
  • tar/zip – Generic archiving lacks built-in checksum verification
