[Archivesspace_Users_Group] Opaque prefixes for ARKs

[Blake Carver]

In 2.7.0 and up you can set those in the config as outlined here:

https://github.com/archivesspace/archivesspace/blob/master/common/config/config-defaults.rb#L653-L665


# ARKs configuration options
# determines whether fields and options related to ARKs appear in the staff interface
AppConfig[:arks_enabled] = false
# If you are planning on using ARKs, change this to a valid, registered NAAN.
# Institutional NAAN value to use in ARK URLs.
AppConfig[:ark_naan] = "99999"
# URL prefix to use in ARK URLs.
# In most cases this will be the same as the PUI URL.
AppConfig[:ark_url_prefix] = proc { AppConfig[:public_proxy_url] }

Subject: [Archivesspace_Users_Group] Opaque prefixes for ARKs

Hello,

Has anyone used ArchivesSpace to generate ARKs? I've read that it can be important to use prefixes to comply with ARK rules. Do we configure this prefix ourselves, or is the key entirely assigned by ArchivesSpace?

Apologies if my question isn't clear! I am new to this topic and will be happy to re-word it for clarity if necessary.

Thank you,
