Since at least 1995 there has been a demand for a way to judge whether a repository is doing it properly. Funders of repositories and those who entrust their valuable digitally encoded information to them urgently need to know whether their funds and their faith is well founded. Stakeholders need to know if the repository is worthy of trust.The digital holdings could for example be the entire intellectual capital of an enterprise or the results obtained from many research careers and billions of Euros/Dollars.Their loss could be catastrophic and certification provides:For those who fund repositories or who deposit their valuable resourcesreassurance where it is warranted – and warnings where trust is not warranted.gives comfort that someone besides the repository managers can tell them that the repository has (or has not) been doing a good jobthis goes beyond simply how well the bits will be preserved, instead the reassurance is that the digitally encoded information will be usable into the futurerather than a simple yes or no, the audit identifies areas which need improvementFor repository managerssomething to show to funders and usersadvice on where improvements are neededHOW PTAB CAN HELP?PTAB members have been carrying out training courses for external participants and in-house/on-site in both scientific and memory institutions.

At each stage there are standards against which each can be judged. The ISO process is well tested and underpins the safety, reliability and quality of the services and products on which we depend in all aspects of our lives. ISO 16363 audits are part of this well tested process to enable a repository to demonstrate trustworthy and responsible data management and stewardship. They provide digital repositories of all sizes with direction for demonstrating their adherence to quality and consistency, respect for data integrity, and a commitment to the long-term preservation of and access to the information entrusted to their care.Gaining ISO 16363 certification allows a repository to show that it can play a part in the vision embodied in former EU Commissioner Neelie Kroes statement “Just as oil was likened to black gold, data takes on a new importance and value in the digital age. Data is the new gold – let’s start mining it“.To ask further questions use the Contact Us form.To go on a course click hereTo register an interest in a course fill in this formTo contribute to the discussions about OAIS developments go to the OAIS review siteShare this:TweetEmailWhatsAppLike this:Like Loading...Follow UsRSS Feed© 2022PTAB – Primary Trustworthy Digital Repository Authorisation Body LtdPowered By WordPress | Voyage Theme TOP %d bloggers like this:
