“…Many of these formats have been used to enable the transfer of digital assets among systems. A notable example is the use of MPEG-21 DIDL in the transfer of the American Physical Society collections to Los Alamos National Laboratory [6].…”

In the emerging eScience environment, repositories of papers, datasets, software, etc., should be the foundation of a global and natively-digital scholarly communications system. The current infrastructure falls far short of this goal. Cross-repository interoperability must be augmented to support the many workflows and value-chains involved in scholarly communication. This will not be achieved through the promotion of single repository architecture or content representation, but instead requires an interoperability framework to connect the many heterogeneous systems that will exist.We present a simple data model and service architecture that augments repository interoperability to enable scholarly value-chains to be implemented. We describe an experiment that demonstrates how the proposed infrastructure can be deployed to implement the workflow involved in the creation of an overlay journal over several different repository systems (Fedora, aDORe, DSpace and arXiv).

“…Work is under way to elaborate the OAIS reference model with sufficient detail to allow systems to be certified by an ISO 9000-like process [51], and to allow systems to inter-operate on the basis of common specifications for ingesting and disseminating information [72,21]. In the same way that ISO 14721 was developed top-down, these efforts are also topdown.…”

The field of digital preservation is being defined by a set of standards developed top-down, starting with an abstract reference model (OAIS) and gradually adding more specific detail. Systems claiming conformance to these standards are entering production use. Work is underway to certify that systems conform to requirements derived from OAIS.We complement these requirements derived top-down by presenting an alternate, bottom-up view of the field. The fundamental goal of these systems is to ensure that the information they contain remains accessible for the long term. We develop a parallel set of requirements based on observations of how existing systems handle this task, and on an analysis of the threats to achieving the goal. On this basis we suggest disclosures that systems should provide as to how they satisfy their goals.

“…This involves bringing the resource into the realm of the OAI-PMH data model by encoding in a complex object format (e.g., MPEG-21 Digital Item Declaration Language (DIDL) or Metadata Encoding and Transmission Standard (METS)) and treating the resulting object as a metadata format. This approach has been shown to allow for accurate repository synchronization using off the shelf harvester software [6].…”
