Hi Vika,
I guess the "SimpleArchiveFormat" structure isn't too strict, or overly
defined, its simple after all.
As far as DSpace is concerned, it takes your Simple Archive Format (parent)
directory, and then iterates over the list of subfolders, processing each
folder as an Item. If your in to code:
https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/blob/93fc28277e2414ffe8da4f9c5da453bc597104bc/dspace-api/src/main/java/org/dspace/app/itemimport/ItemImport.java#L768
String[] dircontents = d.list(directoryFilter);
Arrays.sort(dircontents);
for (int i = 0; i < dircontents.length; i++)
{
addItem(c, mycollections, sourceDir, dircontents[i],
mapOut, template);
So, they don't even have to be numbered, just unique (filesystem
requirement), but if your using a tool to generate the SAF package, a
simple way to make unique, is to increment a number.
You can find a description on SAFPackager (a tool I use to create
batch packages):

Official docs for DSpace Item Import (that uses a SAF Package):
