[Moims-dai] Question on FEDORA

[Mark Conrad]

Mike,

Lots of vendors/developers claim OAIS compliance. That's why we have ISO
16363 and ISO 16919 so that such claims can be put to the test. As Eld
points out, Fedora is not an implementation. OAIS is about how an Archives
implements a repository - what policies they implement, how they determine
their Designated Community, how they design their Information Packages,
etc. Many vendors/developers claim OAIS compliance for their products, but
that is a non sequitur.

Hope this helps,

Mark
