Demonstrating Alignment with the Open Archival Information System Reference Model
The Open Archival Information System (OAIS) is an ISO standard that provides a framework for the long-term preservation of digital information. It defines the responsibilities and requirements for an archive to ensure long-term preservation of digital information.
Ingest, Storage, Management, Administration, Planning, Access
Long-term preservation, Data integrity, Accessibility, Compliance
The OAIS model was developed to address the growing need for preserving digital information in a way that ensures it remains accessible and intelligible over long periods of time. It provides not just a technical framework but also a set of roles, responsibilities, and processes that an archive must adopt to maintain the trust of its stakeholders.
Originally formulated by the Consultative Committee for Space Data Systems (CCSDS), the OAIS model has since been adopted widely across industries including government, academia, and finance. Its comprehensive design supports both large and small-scale digital repositories and is foundational for organizations pursuing digital sustainability and regulatory compliance.
