REFERENCE MODEL FOR AN OPEN ARCHIVAL INFORMATION SYSTEM
- Share to:
Standardization (ISO) Reference Model for an Open Archival Information System (OAIS).
An OAIS is an Archive, consisting of an organization, which may be part of a larger
organization, of people and systems that has accepted the responsibility to preserve
information and make it available for a Designated Community. It meets a set of such
responsibilities as defined in this document, and this allows an OAIS Archive to be
distinguished from other uses of the term ‘archive’. The term ‘Open’ in OAIS is used to
imply that this Recommendation, as well as future related Recommendations and standards,
are developed in open forums, and it does not imply that access to the Archive is
unrestricted.
The information being maintained has been deemed to need Long Term Preservation, even
if the OAIS itself is not permanent. Long Term is long enough to be concerned with the
impacts of changing technologies, including support for new media and data formats, or with
a changing user community. Long Term may extend indefinitely. In this reference model
there is a particular focus on digital information, both as the primary forms of information
held and as supporting information for both digitally and physically archived materials.
Therefore, the model accommodates information that is inherently non-digital (e.g., a
physical sample), but the modeling and preservation of such information is not addressed in
detail.
