The comments below from David and John, who are both good friends and colleagues and have been for long before we started the OAIS RM, now make clear that we have a significant disconnect that I can’t ignore. For those who may not be familiar with the history of the OAIS RM, we started it to provide a common communication framework within which to describe the preservation of digital information. (For an independent study of its original development, see Cal Lee’s 2009 paper <span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="https://ils.unc.edu/callee/p4020-lee.pdf" style="color: purple; text-decoration: underline;" class="">Open Archival Information System (OAIS) Reference Model</a>.) This lack of a common vocabulary and communication framework is why we developed it as a conceptual model and why we required (and still do) so little regarding information modeling for an Archive to call itself an “OAIS”. Although we say this very clearly, the extensive modeling of both information and function has led many to interpret it as an architecture for implementation, not just for communication. <o:p class=""></o:p></span></div></div><div class=""><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;" class=""><span style="color: rgb(148, 33, 146);" class=""><o:p class=""> </o:p></span></div></div><div class=""><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;" class=""><span style="color: rgb(148, 33, 146);" class="">The current 5-year review process for the OAIS RM is the first one where I find some active participants applying implementation perspectives to alter communication of long-standing archival concepts, as evidenced by David and John’s comments below that are endorsing this approach to the original, long standing, Information Package concept. The problem with this approach is that implementations are specific and to an extent unique while archival concepts are expected to be broadly relevant and informative regardless of implementations. Concepts are to be evaluated at the conceptual level, such as whether they are still valid, fit in with other related concepts, and are clearly expressed. Using a few implementations to narrow a concept is virtually certain to leave out other implementations and is thus illogical. This is particularly of concern with the OAIS RM Information Package concept, one of only two information concepts (the other being the Information Object) that an Archive needs to ‘support’ to be considered an ‘OAIS’. In this context, ‘support’ means that the Archive can use the concept to discuss its implementations and can do so in a way consistent with the meaning of the concept. It can’t prescribe any features of an implementation because it is only a concept. I discuss this in more detail below in response to David and John’s comments. I also discuss and refute David’s implication that applying PDI to Representation Information is not implementable, or not reasonably implementable. <o:p class=""></o:p></span></div></div><div class=""><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;" class=""><span style="color: rgb(148, 33, 146);" class=""><o:p class=""> </o:p></span></div></div><div class=""><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;" class=""><span style="color: rgb(148, 33, 146);" class="">In conclusion, I find the proposal (SC222) to modify the Information Package concept, so as to exclude the understanding that PDI could be relevant to Representation Information, to be contrary to valid and widely acknowledged archival concepts and also inconsistent with OAIS RM statements on the role of PDI (Context, Provenance, Reference, Rights, Fixity) in the preservation of Content Information (and by extension any information to be preserved) within an Archive. I don’t know anyone who I think believes that PDI is not important to the preservation of its associated information. <o:p class=""></o:p></span></div></div><div class=""><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;" class=""><span style="color: rgb(148, 33, 146);" class=""><o:p class=""> </o:p></span></div></div><div class=""><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;" class=""><span style="font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; color: rgb(148, 33, 146);" class="">Therefore I call for SC222 to be revisited and rejected.

Further, the Information Object concept and the Information Package concept, as defined in Section 2.2, are generic CONCEPTs defined clearly in the OAIS RM to have all the components that are clearly visible. There is no debate about what is included and the Information Object and Information Package CONCEPTS are always distinct. However for an Archive implementation to be an OAIS, we say it must SUPPORT this Information Object concept and Information Package concept. It requires nothing more regarding information modeling. What does this SUPPORT mean? As regards the Information Object, it certainly can be satisfied as long as the Archive recognizes that one of its Data Objects together with its Representation Information is an Information Object. It can’t use Information Object to mean something different. As regards Information Package, the exact same type of recognition satisfies this requirement. It can’t use ‘Information Package’ to mean something different. We kept these requirements to a minimum so as not to constrain implementations. Note that the OAIS RM does not actually use the Information Package concept of Section 2.2 as given, but in Section 2.3 it introduces specialized forms as SIPs, AIPs, and DIPs. When the modeling shows it as a SIP, it may or may not have ALL the components of the Section 2.2 Information Package and also may not be an Information Object. When it is an AIP it MUST have all the components and then it WILL BE an Information Object because it has a Data Object and its Representation Information. When it is a DIP it may not have all the components and may not be an Information Object. These are all CONCEPTS and not implementations. Actual OAIS implementations may or may not follow these concepts exactly. Note that NONE of the more detailed information modeling in Section 4.2 is REQUIRED to be ’supported’ by an OAIS.<o:p class=""></o:p></span></div></div><div class=""><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;" class=""><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: rgb(148, 33, 146);" class=""><o:p class=""> </o:p></span></div></div><div class=""><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;" class=""><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: rgb(148, 33, 146);" class="">Of course we hope that OAIS implementations will closely follow the SIP, AIP, and DIP models and thus be able to easily address their implementations using these terms.

The conceptual model says an AIP has ALL the components. If you can make the case that your AIP implementation doesn’t need all the components, then fine. The current AIP, based on an IP, strictly speaking says nothing about recursion of either the Representation Information or the PDI. However they both can be recursive and implementations will deal with this as they see fit. They may or may not pass an audit but this is a totally different issue. This confusion between the CONCEPTUAL model and an IMPLEMENTATION model, as regards what should appear in the OAIS RM, is the fundamental underlying issue that allows the SC222 proposal.<o:p class=""></o:p></span></div></div></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;" class=""><br class=""><br class=""><o:p class=""></o:p></div><blockquote style="margin-top: 5pt; margin-bottom: 5pt;" class="" type="cite"><div class=""><div class=""><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 12pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="color: red;" class="">I think we need to carefully document the “edge” cases and distinguish these from the more general case where all the AIP components are needed.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span></span><o:p class=""></o:p></p></div></div></blockquote><div class=""><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;" class=""><o:p class=""> </o:p></div></div><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 12pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-stretch: normal;"><span style="color: rgb(148, 33, 146);" class="">Again, this is a valid consideration for an implementation but has NO bearing on the conceptual model.

This could be made more clear in the OAIS RM.

Further text discusses issues with possible approaches to applying the Fixity component of PDI to Representation Information and to the combined CDO with Representation Information. All of the text clearly expresses concerns with a set of implementation approaches and therefor should immediately be suspect as a rationale for changes. In fact it appears that not only were the approaches being considered too rigid, but the view of the information models was also too rigid because there are implementation approaches that can work. The OAIS RM presents CONCEPTUAL MODELS and not IMPLEMENTATION MODELS. The OAIS RM was generated to provide a common framework of terms and concepts to facilitate communication. This is easy to forget as it can easily be viewed, and often has been, as an implementation model. For example, Section 2.2 is stated to contain the only information models that an OAIS implementation needs to support in order to be an OAIS. But what do we say in 2.2, and specifically regarding Figure 2-3, in this context? We take a top-down approach and give a very high level (i.e.,with little detail) view of an Information Package involving four basic types of information (Content Information, PDI, Packaging Information, and Descriptive Information) and their relationships. We show Packaging Information as a simple container with a small divider, one side holding Content Information and the other PDI, and we state that PDI is needed to preserve the Content Information, to ensure it is clearly identified, and to understand the environment in which it was created. We show Descriptive Information as being associated with this Information Package to facilitate finding the Content Information of interest.</span><o:p class=""></o:p></div></div></div><div class=""><div style="margin-left: 0.5in;" class=""><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;" class=""><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: rgb(31, 73, 125);" class=""> </span><o:p class=""></o:p></div></div><div style="margin-left: 0.5in;" class=""><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;" class=""><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: rgb(31, 73, 125);" class="">I think the Conceptual Model was designed to be and should reflect real implementations.</span><o:p class=""></o:p></div></div></div></div></div></div></blockquote><div class=""><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;" class=""><o:p class=""> </o:p></div></div><div class=""><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;" class=""><o:p class=""> </o:p></div></div><div class=""><div class=""><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;" class=""><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: rgb(148, 33, 146);" class="">This was never the case and should never be the case, as I’ve pointed out. The conceptual modeling in the OAIS RM was based on the insight of those with archival experience, recognizing deficiencies and trying to apply good archival concepts to digital information. That is why we were fortunate to have the participation of Bruce Ambacher from the US National Archives and why the result gained the approval of Ken Thibedaue, then head of the US National Archives. The archival concepts we’ve included have been throughly reviewed and accepted by both digital and non-digital archivists. We expected future implementations to adopt the concepts that make sense in their particular situations. The auditing of digital archives may take a more rigid perspective, but that is not the function of the OAIS RM. I think the statement above probably reflects digital auditing concerns.<o:p class=""></o:p></span></div></div><div class=""><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;" class=""><br class=""><br class=""><o:p class=""></o:p></div></div></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;" class=""><br class=""><br class=""><o:p class=""></o:p></div><blockquote style="margin-top: 5pt; margin-bottom: 5pt;" class="" type="cite"><div class=""><div class=""><div class=""><div class=""><div class=""><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;" class=""><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: red;" class="">I agree with John – the Conceptual Model should be implementable and real implementations should be mappable to the Conceptual Model if the implementation conforms.</span><o:p class=""></o:p></div></div></div></div></div></div></blockquote><div class=""><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;" class=""><o:p class=""> </o:p></div></div><div class=""><div class=""><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;" class=""><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: rgb(148, 33, 146);" class="">Almost: An Architectural model should be implementable and real implementation should be mappable to the Architectural model if the implementation conforms.

It does NOT say how PDI is supposed to be related to Content Information, which is defined to be the Content Data Object and its Representation Information. It could be implemented as only applied to the Content Data Object (as SC222 proposes), it could also be implemented as applied individually to the Content Data Object and the Representation Information. For example, a registry of Representation Information objects must perform preservation and must be concerned with source, version history, and fixity (i.e., PDI) and therefore needs to maintain some level of PDI. One would expect PDI applied to a Content Data Object and to differ from that applied to its Representation Information. There is no OAIS requirement other than being able to describe an OAIS implementation as using these high level concepts, and this can be done regardless of the implementation approach as long as these information types can be identified. On the other hand, adopting SC222 says that a conforming OAIS is expected to be able to relate PDI to its Content Data Object, AND there is no reason to expect any PDI to be applied to the Representation Information. This is limiting the concept of PDI applicability that is contrary to actual implementations (e.g., Representation Information Registries) while such a limitation is not there now and thus would be a step backward.</span><o:p class=""></o:p></div></div></div><div class=""><div style="margin-left: 0.5in;" class=""><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;" class=""><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: rgb(31, 73, 125);" class=""> </span><o:p class=""></o:p></div></div><div style="margin-left: 0.5in;" class=""><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;" class=""><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: rgb(31, 73, 125);" class="">I think this is stretching understanding of normal readers.

The reality is not up for debate - it is just a question of who is doing the preservation of the Representation Information and whether it is remaining adequate. We know standards evolve and, for example, there are multiple versions of PDF/A in use. An archive relying on PDF/A should know which versions it is using and where, and should maintain appropriate associated PDI. <o:p class=""></o:p></span></div></div><blockquote style="margin-top: 5pt; margin-bottom: 5pt;" class="" type="cite"><div class=""><div class=""><div class=""><div class=""><div style="margin-left: 0.5in;" class=""><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;" class=""><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: rgb(31, 73, 125);" class=""> </span><o:p class=""></o:p></div></div></div><div class=""><div style="margin-left: 0.5in;" class=""><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;" class=""><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class="">3.

I see this as a win-win situation and it should remove the Content Information controversy.</span><o:p class=""></o:p></div></div></div><div class=""><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 12pt 0.5in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class=""> </span><o:p class=""></o:p></p></div><div class=""><div style="margin-left: 0.5in;" class=""><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;" class=""><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class="">Cheers-</span><o:p class=""></o:p></div></div></div><div class=""><div style="margin-left: 0.5in;" class=""><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;" class=""><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class="">Don</span><o:p class=""></o:p></div></div></div><div class=""><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 12pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;"> <o:p class=""></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 12pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: red;" class="">As I wrote previously – what we need for logical consistency if SC222 as agreed previously, and a normative annex to explain the issue more fully.</span><o:p class=""></o:p></p></div></div></div></div></blockquote><div class=""><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;" class=""><o:p class=""> </o:p></div></div><div class=""><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 12pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-stretch: normal;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: rgb(148, 33, 146);" class="">I believe I have logically and practically refuted SC222 and the only reason I can think these implementation concerns have intruded is because several participants are very active in the auditing efforts. <o:p class=""></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 12pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-stretch: normal;"><u class=""><span style="color: rgb(148, 33, 146);" class="">EXAMPLE IMPLEMENTATION: PDI APPLICATION TO CONTENT INFORMATION</span></u><span style="color: rgb(148, 33, 146);" class=""><o:p class=""></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 12pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-stretch: normal;"><span style="color: rgb(148, 33, 146);" class="">A couple of participants have taken the view that the application of PDI to Content Information is not implementable or is impractical, despite arguing that conceptually PDI is important for all information being preserved. If it is a valid concept, which it surely is, then some form of it must be implementable as long as one takes a reasonable and practical approach as any Archive must do. Perhaps it is the potentially recursive nature of Representation Information and PDI, along with the possibility that PDI may need Representation Information, etc. that has some concerned. Real implementations, apart from conceptual applications that seem to never end, will deal with these recursions in practical ways. Here I offer one approach, part of which was implemented at the former National Space Science Data Center and managed by John, now augmented to include PDI and its potential recursion in a practical fashion.<o:p class=""></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 12pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-stretch: normal;"><span style="color: rgb(148, 33, 146);" class="">The Content Information of interest is set of NASA satellite observations of local magnetic field values during a period of one minute, each minute. It has been provided to the OAIS as a set of digital files (Content Data Objects, or CDOs) along with a Representation Information component (RP1) addressing the format of a CDO file and a component (RP2) addressing the meaning of the structural fields identified in RP1. These components are in PDF/A format and contain English descriptions where the English criteria, as Archive policy, are also described in a PDF/A file. PDF/A hardware and software is included to terminate representation networks. The CDOs and the Representation Information components all have associated PDI files, apart from the English criteria file as it is judged to be unnecessary. The PDI files contain their own PDI components of Context, Provenance, and Rights information, and are thus ‘self-recursive’. Fixity checksums are maintained in associated databases, one for the CDOs and one for the Representation and PDI information. All files have object identifiers in their file names. A schematic of the objects, object identifiers, and the relationships are show in the PDF file attached below this text. The resulting scheme shows a set of AIP components (but without all the Packaging Information), with PDI applicable to the CDOs, Representation Information, and the PDI itself.<o:p class=""></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 12pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-stretch: normal;"><span style="color: rgb(148, 33, 146);" class="">A schematic of the above implementation is included in this attachment:<o:p class=""></o:p></span></p><div class=""><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;" class=""><o:p class=""> </o:p></div></div></div></div></div><span style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration: none; float: none; display: inline !important;" class="">_______________________________________________</span><br style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration: none;" class=""><span style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration: none; float: none; display: inline !important;" class="">MOIMS-DAI mailing list</span><br style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration: none;" class=""><span style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration: none; float: none; display: inline !important;" class=""><a href="mailto:MOIMS-DAI@mailman.ccsds.org" class="">MOIMS-DAI@mailman.ccsds.org</a></span><br style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration: none;" class=""><span style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration: none; float: none; display: inline !important;" class=""><a href="https://mailman.ccsds.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/moims-dai" class="">https://mailman.ccsds.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/moims-dai</a></span></div></blockquote></div><br class=""></div></body></html>
