About the PASIG

The PASIG is a vendor independent community open to any institutions and commercial organizations interested in  learning and sharing practical experiences in the following:

* Comparison of high-level OAIS architectures, services-oriented architecture work, and use cases
* Sharing of best practices and software code
Cooperation on standard, open, 'in-a-box' solutions around repository technologies
* Review of storage architectures and trends and their relation to preservation and archiving architectures and eResearch data set management
Discussion of the uses of commercial third party and community-developed solutions

The community is focused on sharing open computing solutions and best practices. But while sharing information about the state-of-the-art developments in standards and open source is important, this is not a standards-setting organization. It is a place to share practical experiences, successes, pain points, and potential topics for more collaboration.

At the PASIG conference, May 10, 2011 the group agreed that it would be very helpful to define the minimum requirements for a digital archive to be legitimately called a "digital archive."  To move that ahead, I've drafted a proposed definition and it is now open for review and comment so that we can, as a community, progress a peer-reviewed definition. 

 

You will find it at Defining a "Level 1"…
