Evaluate status of digital objects in OAC vs. ArchivesSpace

Hi @marlo-longley thanks for ticketing this idea. Here are some things I am interested in learning:

• How many collections in ArchivesSpace contain digital objects? Which collections are they? Is it possible to obtain a count of the number of digital objects? What are the different forms they take (link to PURL, link to SearchWorks, etc.)?
• How many collections in OAC contain digital objects?
• Are the collections that have digital objects in OAC and ArchivesSpace the same?

I'm thinking the form of this reporting could be a spreadsheet, similar to what Cory has produced for some of the reporting he's done about published resources and resources in OAC.

Let me know if any of this is unclear and I'm happy to explain more!

Here's a start to my analysis - let's discuss maybe outside Github.
Still to do, a diff between the two systems.
I have written python scripts that generate the sheets below; I am not sure if they should be committed to this repository or saved in some way.

Excluded from the OAC analysis above are two exceptions (determined in collaboration with Adrian Turner @ CDL):

Exception 1: The "1906 Earthquake and Fire" finding aid links to digital objects that are still managed in OAC; the objects were originally created in partnership with UC Berkeley Library/Bancroft and are in the form of METS files:

• Finding aid: https://oac.cdlib.org/findaid/ark:/13030/hb8779p2cx
• Objects: https://oac.cdlib.org/search?group=Items;style=oac4;relation=ark:/13030/hb8779p2cx;institution=Stanford%20University

Exception 2: The "Buckminster Fuller" finding aid also links to digital objects that are still managed in OAC; the objects were programmatically created by extracting the item-level metadata from the EAD, and creating METS files:

• Finding aid: https://oac.cdlib.org/findaid/ark:/13030/tf109n9832/
• Objects: https://oac.cdlib.org/items/ark:/13030/tf109n9832/
