OAIS Roadmap and related standards

 

The Reference Model for an Open Archival Information System (OAIS) serves to identify areas suitable for the development of OAIS-related standards. Some of these standards may be developed by CCSDS; others may be developed by other standardization bodies. However, any such work undertaken by other bodies should be coordinated in order to minimize incompatibilities and efforts. Some areas for potential OAIS-related standards are listed below together with references to relevant standards and/or initiatives. The versions are the current version at the time of last update of this list.
