[Moims-dai] OAIS and the OAIS Architecture

[Robert Downs]

I agree with Bruce's concerns and believe that we need to be very careful
that proposing and naming a new design artifact does not cause confusion. I
also agree with John's concerns and believe that it should be done in a way
that does not imply that a proposed design artifact is a requirement for
certification of OAIS compliance. Using a term like OAIS Interoperability
Framework, which David proposed, might be a step in the right direction, as
compared to the earlier term. However, considering the variety of diverse
communities that have embraced the OAIS Reference Model, I wonder whether
using a term, such as OAIS Interoperability Framework, would imply that
there is no room for other frameworks for OAIS interoperability.

Thanks,

Bob
