RES: [Moims-rac] Taxonomies for Digital Repositories

[Don Sawyer]

Katia,

I believe that for this effort, toward an ISO certification standard,  
to be successful it must be applicable to all types of digital  
repositories that are concerned with long-term preservation.  At its  
most basic level it should be applicable to all types of digital  
information.  Therefore I don't believe a lot is gained by an early  
focus on types of records reflecting their origin.  It seems to me  
that once there is agreement on a core set of 'criteria', then it  
makes sense to test them against various scenarios including  
different 'businesses'.

cheers-
Don
