4. Building a PAS : BHL-Europe
Digital Preservation issues
1. How To guarantee a digital information may be accessed and
understood in the future
2. How To guarantee a proper information package management
within and OAIS Archive
3. How To guarantee long-time preservation maintenance of any
information package
4. How To guarantee retrieval of Archival Information
5. How To guarantee intellegibility within heterogeneous Designated
Communities and their digital information
6. How To guarantee preservation actors are informed about change
events
7. How To guarantee an adequate security access with the proper
rights to any resource and functionality within an OAIS Archive
8. How To guarantee an adequate integrity and identity for any
Archival Information

Development strategy
Pure Service-oriented design • No Dependencies
guarantees that the component can • Loosely coupled
provide functionality without requiring • Distributed
Self-
Self-Contained + cooperation of other components
Component analysis, design and • Sharing know-how
Well Described + development process is strongly based • Open Specification
on complete – shared – open • Open Source
documentation at any level • Open Documentation
Adaptable +
Design choices and implementation allows • Flexibility
to adapt and configure each component to • Scalability
Replaceable = provide always at least a minimal set of
functionality independently from the
deployment framework and condition
Preservable Design choices and implementation allows • Interoperability
to replace any component in the framework • Mantainability
with compliant one.
