The purpose of this seminar is to disseminate information to UK industry and UK governmental institutions about archival information systems standards that are currently developed under the auspices of the Committee on Space Data Systems- Panel 2 (CCSDS P2) and the ISO.

The presentations given are centred around the following issues:

• a reference model for an Open Archival Information System (OAIS). The CCSDS P2 has been tasked by the ISO to develop a reference model that can be used as framework for the understanding of archival concepts needed for long-term preservation of information. This model will also facilitate the description and comparison of architectures of existing and future systems and guide the production of related ISO standards in this area.

• Information Access Standards. Important elements of any OAIS are the standards related to the access of the information stored in the archives. In the seminar current important standards and European systems in this area are presented.

• the Catalogue Interoperability Protocol (CIP). The CIP is an advanced search and retrieval client/server protocol based on Z39.50. The CCSDS P2 currently considers the publication of the CIP as a P2 recommendation.

• demonstrations of tools related to data archiving, distribution and access.
