[CMC] One more reason showing why OAIS is the most visited standard in CCSDS web site

[Nestor.Peccia at esa.int]

Dear all,

This international Project shows that OAIS community is not only 
restricted to "typical" digital libraries where books, magazines and small 
artifacts are archived. LOTAR is being supported by the big players in the 
aerospace industry, and is based on the CCSDS OAIS standard.

LOng Term Archiving and Retrieval - LOTAR
The objective of LOTAR International is to develop standards for long-term 
archiving (LTA) of digital data, such as 3D CAD and PDM data. These 
standards will define auditable archiving and retrieval processes. Use of 
the standard series by other branches of industry such as the automotive 
or shipbuilding industry is possible. The results are harmonized with e.g. 
the Recommendation 4958 for long-term archiving of the German Association 
of the Automotive Industry (VDA) and are based on the ISO 14721, Open 
Archival Information System (OAIS) Reference Model. The documents for the 
standard are published as the EN9300 series and, in cooperation with the 
AIA, also as the National Aerospace Standard (NAS).

LOTAR International is a project being conducted by leading OEMs and 
suppliers in the aerospace and defense industry under the joint auspices 
of ASD-STAN, AIA, PDES Inc. and the ProSTEP iViP Association.
ASD = Aeronautics and Space Federation of Europe (HQ in Brussels, Belgium)
AIA = Aerospace Industry Association (HQ in Arlington, VA, USA)

Close cooperation with the PDES, Inc. / ProSTEP iViP CAx Implementor Forum 
ensures implementation reliability.

The LOTAR project consortium consists of user companies from around the 
world. Member companies include Airbus, BAE Systems, Boeing, Dassault 
Aviation, EADS, Eurocopter, General Dynamics, Goodrich, IAI, Lockheed 
Martin, SAFRAN, Sandia, and Spirit.
Goals of the project include:
Developing a standard series for archiving and retrieval of product data
Standardization of referred and needed methods, process modules and data 
models
Providing methods, process modules and data model(s), to enable long-term 
archiving and retrieval of CAD and PDM data, but e.g. also for electrical, 
composite design data
Development of recommendations for practical introduction of long-term 
archiving of relevant data at industry
Having COTS based on user requirement due to cooperation with CAx-IF and 
conjoined funded pilot projects
The LOTAR development of a worldwide-accepted standard for long-term 
archiving of a 3D master and product structure is an international 
collaboration of the Aerospace Industries Association of America (AIA) and 
the AeroSpace and Defence Industries Association of Europe for 
Standardization (ASD-STAN), under the supervision of the International 
Aerospace Quality Group (IAQG).
