We noted above that mapping PDS to OAIS indicates that this is not true and the core concepts of OAIS do apply. It may be sensible to create new standards for the implementation of distributed archives, for example to define new ways to implement federations or special storage systems. This would not in itself imply changes to OAIS.<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-add-space:auto;line-height:normal'><b><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;mso-fareast-language:EN-GB'><o:p> </o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-add-space:auto;line-height:normal'><b><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;mso-fareast-language:EN-GB'>As noted at the start, OAIS is scheduled for review/revision in 2017. It will be important to collect ideas/comments/corrections but it is essential to distinguish between changes in OAIS itself versus suggestions for new, separate, standards. Our comments indicate that the points made in the original post fall in the latter category. However, if there are other new considerations, or if you feel we didn’t understand your post, we would be happy to discuss this. <o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-add-space:auto;line-height:normal'><b><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;mso-fareast-language:EN-GB'><o:p> </o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;margin-left:0cm;mso-add-space:auto;line-height:normal'><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;mso-fareast-language:EN-GB'>Please let me know what you think.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;margin-left:0cm;mso-add-space:auto;line-height:normal'><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;mso-fareast-language:EN-GB'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoListParagraphCxSpLast style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;margin-left:0cm;mso-add-space:auto;line-height:normal'><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;mso-fareast-language:EN-GB'>..David<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
