ISO Archiving Standards - First International Workshop

26-27 October 1995

Rutherford Appleton Laboratory

Oxford, England

Hosted by

RAL

and

BNSC

in cooperation with

CCSDS

and

ISO

The goal of this workshop was the development of materials to support development of draft ISO standards effort supporting the long term preservation of digital information obtained from observations of the terrestrial and space environments.

The focus of this meeting was development of proposals on the requirements, organization and content of an Archiving Reference Model.

• Workshop Action Items

  19 January 1996 (originally 2 January 1996)

  Generate scenarios for several types of organizations that satisfy and do not satisfy the 'archive' definition. Also consider the metadata interfaces and characterize them. Examples of metadata incldue:

  • catalogue information
  • algorithms
  • ancillary data and relationships to other data
  • pointers to other data
  • software

  Specific scenarios:

  • XMM Science Data Center , Nestor Peccia / ESA
  • TBS (Overdue 960119 originally due 960102) GENIE , Grant Denkinson / BNSC
  • TBS (Overdue 960119 originally due 960102) DAACS/ECS , Lou Reich / NASA
  • TBS (Overdue 960119 originally due 960102) Cluster , Mathew Wild / BNSC
  • TBS (Overdue 960119 originally due 960102) NERC ACSOE Archive , Chunkey Lepine / BNSC
  • TBS (Overdue 960119 originally due 960102) NSSDC, Don Sawyer / NASA
  • TBS (Overdue 960119 originally due 960102) WDCs , Mathew Wild / BNSC
  • IDN/Global Change Master Directory , Steve Foley (for Wyn Cudlip)
  • Life Science Data Archive, John Turner / NASDA
  • European SOHO Archives at RAL (was Rutherford Atlas Data Store) , David Giaretta / BNSC
