This wikispace provides a home for the digital preservation community to collaborate on its use of the OAIS Model. It is part of a wider space for interactions on other standards in this field.

The OAIS standard continues to grow in importance within the digital preservation and curation community and and we have a responsibility to ensure it remains alive and relevant. The upcoming ISO review of the OAIS standard in 2017 offers a chance for the community to contribute. This wiki is designed to provide a forum for discussion on the use and future evolution of the standard. Read more...


The OAIS standard published by both the Consultative Committee for Space Data Systems (CCSDS) and as ISO14721 has been highly influential in the development of digital preservation. As a reference model it provides a common basis for aligning disparate practice in diverse institutional settings. A range of standards have emerged around and related to OAIS including PREMIS (for preservation metadata), ISO16363 (for certification) and PAIMAS (for exchange between Producers and Archives).

Since OAIS was initially proposed the digital preservation community has grown tremendously in absolute numbers and in diversity. OAIS adoption has expanded far beyond the space data community to include cultural heritage, research data centers, commerce, industry and government.

The digital preservation community has a responsibility to keep the standard alive and relevant. The upcoming ISO review of the OAIS standard in 2017 offers a chance for a cooperative, transparent review process. It also creates an opportunity for further community building around OAIS and related initiatives.

Can our community develop an information platform around these common vocabularies, concepts, functions, and standards to develop a common view on the state of digital curation and preservation and provide the basis for a contribution to the OAIS review?

We think we can!

With your support we will initiate the following

OAIS_Community forum via a wiki Your feedback and the discussions will provide raw material for an editorial committee of the most active participants to formulate recommendations which will result in a formal submission to the 2017 review. So sign in and add your views!

Exploring official mechanisms Official mechanisms for the review of ISO standards are well established via National Standard Bodies and these will be explored and used to give input for the review.

Active Interaction Ensuring inclusion for this large, diverse community mean collaborative virtual meetings are necessary but we all recognize the value of meeting fact to face and will seek to enable them.

The outcome from this activity is not simply a wiki nor is it a set of recommendations. By providing a shared open platform for the community that gathers around the OAIS we aim to ensure on-going dialogue about our standards and their implementation in the future.

In this sense the 2017 review is a milestone on the way to an engaged and empowered community rather than a destination.
