Apologies for cross-posting -----Original Message----- From: Digital-Preservation Announcement and Information List <[log in to unmask]> To: [log in to unmask] <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Thu Dec 07 08:06:26 2006 Subject: Repository audit and Certification - formation of open international group to create an ISO standard Apologies for any cross posting: I am forwarding the announcement of the formation of BoF (Birds of a Feather) group within CCSDS. This is the next step in the process of creating an international standard against which repositories may be certified. The following steps will be, as was done with the OAIS Reference Model, the setting up of open international workshops to create the document which will be submitted via CCSDS into ISO, with full open international review. In order to gauge the level of interest it would be useful if those who anticipate taking part in the work, either at meetings or via email or both, would let me know. If you are able to take part in the first BoF meeting in Colorado Springs then please also email [log in to unmask] Details of the meeting will be available at http://public.ccsds.org/meetings/2007Winter/default.aspx Regards ...David On behalf of David Giaretta (CCLRC) and Don Sawyer (NASA) -----Original Message----- From: [log in to unmask] [mailto:[log in to unmask] <mailto:[log in to unmask]> ] On Behalf Of [log in to unmask] Sent: 06 December 2006 08:04 Subject: [Moims-ipr] Announcement for a new MOIMS BOF Dear all, MOIMS wishes to start a new BOF. Background As you may know, following OAIS (the most visited CCSDS standard on the Web) it was agreed that RLG and NARA take a lead on the certification work. This they did, forming a closed panel (some MOIS DAI WG staff are also members). The final version of this will be released shortly. It still will need a lot of work but, would be one very good input to the BOF. MOIMS will also promote the BOF under the OAIS community. Description BOF: Repository Audit and Certification As recorded in the successful OAIS Reference Model, there is a demand for a standard against which Repositories of digital information may be audited and on which an international accreditation and certification process may be based. The BOF will seek proposals to take forward to produce the required audit and certification standard. In addition to Space Agency support, it is anticipated that significant resources will be contributed from many other organisations. Subscription Please let us know via e-mail ([log in to unmask]) before 31st Dec 2006 if you are interested to participate in the first BOF meeting (maximum 2 hours). I would kindly ask you to distribute this invitation to whom might be interested within your organization Logistics As there are problems to get rooms at Penrouse House, MOIMS will arrange the meeting by using our already allocated rooms. Date, time and location will be announced later -- Neil Jacobs <[log in to unmask]> JISC Executive, Beacon House, Queens Road, Bristol, BS8 1QU +44 (0)117 33 10772 / 07768 040179
