Study & Research | The Metropolitan Museum of Art. The National Archives. ISO Archiving Standards - Overview. ISO has encouraged the development of standards in support of the long term preservation of digital information obtained from observations of the terrestrial and space environments. ISO requested that the Consultative Committee for Space Data SystemsPanel 2 coordinate the development of those standards. (CCSDS has subsequently reorganized and the work is now situated in the Data Archive Ingest (DAI) Working Group.)

The initial effort has been the development of a Reference Model for an Open Archival Information System (OAIS). The OAIS Reference Model has been reviewed and pending some editorial updates, It has been approved as an ISO Standard and as a CCSDS Recommendation. The development history of this effort can be seen by surveying the many past US, French, British and International workshops. AWIICS identified significant interest in starting new standardization efforts, and provided starting documents related to Ingest, Identification, and Certification of Archives.

Adam and Richard Holowczak Rutgers University, CIMIC Milton Halem and Nand LalNASA Goddard Space Flight Center Yelena YeshaUMBC/Center for Excellence in Space Data and Information Sciences In the past, global networks have usually transported textual information, but there is a growing need for these networks to transport other forms of information such as images, video, and audio. These trends have created an emerging, important discipline: digital libraries. As a result of these activities, a number of recent symposia, workshops, and conferences have been recently devoted to digital library issues, and several journals have published editorial about digital libraries, including Computer and IEEE Transactions on Knowledge and Data Engineering.
