Archiving as a service
Jan Askhoj, Mitsuharu Nagamori, Shigeo Sugimoto · Proceedings of the 2011 iConference · 2011
In this paper, we define some of the characteristics of archiving in a cloud computing environment. Based on these, we describe a model for a cloud archiving system using concepts and information types from the OAIS reference model. The proposed model allows the sharing of functionality and information objects by making these available as services to above layers. The model covers the entire document lifecycle, making archive functionality such as preservation planning possible at an early stage in the document lifecycle, helping to simplify records transfer.
