[Moims-dai] Suggested Information Package Definition

[garrett at his.com]

Hi,

 

I’m  not really thrilled with basically defining an Info Package as a SIP, AIP or DIP.

And then defining each of those separately.

Is there any reason to have a definition of Info Package in this  case?

What do we need to say about an Info Package in the generic form?

 

Peace and joy,

-JOhn

OAIS 2012:

Information Package: A logical container composed of optional Content Information and optional associated Preservation Description Information. Associated with this Information Package is Packaging Information used to delimit and identify the Content Information and Package Description information used to facilitate searches for the Content Information.

 

Proposed replacement:

Information Package: A logical container used for one of three purposes:

1.       To transmit from the Producer to the OAIS information to be used in constructing or updating Content Information and Preservation Description Information. (Submission Information Package - SIP)

2.       To manage and preserve Content Information and its associated Preservation Description Information. (Archival Information Package - AIP)

3.       To transmit from the OAIS to the Consumer information that is traceable to the Content Information and/or Preservation Description Information contained in one or more Archival Information Package. (Dissemination Information Package - DIP)

NOTE: There are different requirements/constraints that are applicable to each type of Information Package (i.e., SIP, AIP, and DIP). See the definition of each Information Package type and the discussion at Section 4.2.2.

 

Talk to you next Tuesday!
