[Moims-dai] OAIS and the OAIS Architecture

[Mike Kearney]

In terms of the naming convention for the architecture… I would like to keep this as an open discussion for a while longer.  The term “Framework” is quite a bit overused nowadays (The CCSDS management “framework” for example).  

 

My opinion was that OAIS would benefit from an interoperable architecture, but if the group wants to have a terminology divide between OAIS and this digital preservation architecture, then so be it.  I would encourage the group to discuss this a bit further, though.  

 

Bob, your discussion about whether there can be multiple frameworks for OAIS interoperability…  If the multiple frameworks are not interoperable with each other… that would be a really bad thing.  Similar to having two OAIS Reference Models that contradict each other.  And if the multiple frameworks for OAIS interoperability are interoperable with each other…  I think that’s one framework, not two.

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

Hi,

 

That sounds good to me.

I agree that OAIS Architecture sounds too much like it is a required architecture to be OAIS compliant. 

It also then starts to be misunderstood as required to be certified.

 

However OAIS-Interoperability Framework sounds less like a requirement and more like a desirable feature that archives would want.

 

Peace and joy,

Would it be better to call the new work an OAIS Interoperability Framework (OAIS-IF)

DAI WG members:  After last Tuesday’s discussion, I realized that we have an issue at least with terminology for the new architecture effort.  So I’m attaching a short writeup for your reading pleasure and discussion during the next telecon.  

 

The main points you should take away from this discussion are:  

*        The use of the term “OAIS Architecture” should not be considered intended to change anything about the OAIS Reference Model or certification thereof, and;

*        If use of the term “OAIS Architecture” make people think it will change OAIS, then maybe we need a new term.  

 

I would prefer to stick with “OAIS Architecture,” but we can discuss other options.
