NotesBagIt is a hierarchical file packaging format designed to support disk-based storage and network transfer of arbitrary digital content. A "bag" consists of a "payload" (the arbitrary content) and "tags", which are metadata files intended to document the storage and transfer of the bag.

The name, BagIt, is inspired by the "enclose and deposit" method [1], sometimes referred to as "bag it and tag it".FeedUnfurl
