[Moims-dai] Preservica making OAIS claims again

Wed May 29 19:58:59 UTC 2019

Hi folks,

As a Preservica user I thought it only fair to point out that they are not the only ones doing this and not necessarily the worst at this; their claims are weaker than those of some of their competitors:

Libnova: “All the power of a full OAIS – ISO 14.721 aligned preservation system<http://www.libnova.com/en/digital-preservation-libsafe-libdata/>”

Archivematica: “Archivematica is an integrated suite of open-source software tools that allows users to process digital objects from ingest to access in compliance with the ISO-OAIS functional model<https://www.archivematica.org/en/>.”

Archivum: “Adheres to OAIS standards<https://arkivum.com/product/>”

Best,

Too bad we cannot issue a "cease and desist order" until they definitively prove their claims, although I am not sure how a software company can "prove" it is OAIS compliant.  I am already on their be slow to respond, if at all list for past challenges to their claims and suggesting that they finance one of clients to undergo a 16363 audit.

They have check boxes next to OAIS ISO 14721 throughout their advertising. I would be very curious to know if they really have the other certifications - ISO 9001, and ISO 27001  - that they check.

Hi Mark

They say things like “aligned to the OAIS ISO 14721 standard” which could mean anything. Is there something more specific?
