ISO TC46 meeting

[MURATA Makoto]

Klaus-Peter,

Thank you for providing useful information.

I did not explain anything about the EPUB  JWG plan for long-term
preservation, but it is based on Open Archival
Information System (OAIS), Metadata Encoding and Transmission Standard
(METS), Preservation metadata (PREMIS).  I believe that it is
consistent with the German project you mentioned.

Regards,
Makoto

> We had a project together with the German DIN about document archiving and
> open document standards. Unfortunately, the project report (
> http://publica.fraunhofer.de/eprints/urn_nbn_de_0011-n-3433710.pdf ) has
> been written in German.
>
> In short two results are important:
>
> ·         From a technical point of view the definition of the term
>  document is different in the archiving world and in the “SC34” world. We
> are talking about OOXML, ODF, PDF, … files. An archived document is a
> container containing objects (our documents) together with some metadata.
> These metadata a quite similar to the metadata in our zip-archives but a
> “general” document has no internal description. The de-facto standard “Open
> Archival Information System-OAIS (ISO 14721)” introduces a “archival
> information package” that contains data/content together with “preservation
> description information”.
>
> ·         From a political point of view the German recommendations for
> archives refer to an old version of recommended standards (SAGA) that
> contains PDF and ODF 1.0 (yes, these recommendations are really old) as
> recommended document formats. Even the 2015 recommendations refer to these
> outdated versions.
