Hi Tim
Thanks again for the prompt feedback. We will work through the
documentation and then have another attempt. Will feedback to the
list.

Hi Michael,
I'm copying back in the dspace-tech listserv, as others may also be
able
to assist. Plus, keeping these discussions on the list can help others
in the future, who may be searching the list archives for an answer to
the same question.
Unfortunately, I'm not entirely sure what is in each file in the
"DKArchive" folder. For example, what is the "00" and "01" files you
mentioned? Or are those folders? Also, what format of metadata (e.g.
dublin core, MODS/METS) is in the "metadata.xml" file?
At a glance, this DKArchive folder looks similar in structure to the
DSpace Simple Archive format described here:
https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSDOC18/Importing+and+Exporting+Items+via+Simple+Archive+Format
However, it doesn't look like it's the same format exactly.
The reason why you got errors reported when you attempted to import
this
Zip file using the AIP tools, is that this DKArchive ZIP file does not
seem to be a valid DSpace AIP. The DSpace AIP format is METS-based and
described here:
https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSDOC18/DSpace+AIP+Format
Essentially, your next steps should be to determine how best to
transform this DKArchive into a valid DSpace import format. Currently,
it looks like it's *closest* to the Simple Archive Format (as described
above), but it all depends on the format of the metadata stored in the
"metadata.xml" file. It's possible you'd need to transform that
"metadata.xml" file into Dublin Core metadata (if it isn't already).
Sorry I cannot be of more immediate help. Again, I'm just not familiar
with this export format. Hopefully there are ways you can easily
transform it into one of the valid DSpace import formats.
- Tim
