The standard should explicitly specify that an archive must have technological capability (specifically old software, for instance) to transform a SIP or an AIP into a DIP. (ie it seems like it would be an important core preservation function of an OAIS to have the capability to transform this material, so is this worth stating? Arrow from ‘Provide data’ to ‘Generate DIP’ so this is sort of implied?)
