The basic goal of OAIS is to make sure the repository does a good job in preserving its holdings

ISO 16363/TDR
• Working Group (PTAB)• ISO status: stage 50, approval stage• Available for free on CCSDS website • Future plans for auditing using ISO 16363

Test Audits of ISO 16363
• May-July 2011. Tested six digital repositories, three in the U.S. and three in Europe.
• Future plans for auditing using ISO 16363.–European Framework for Certification
and Auditing.

What is a Trusted Digital Repository?A trusted digital repository is one whose
mission is to provide reliable, long-term access to managed digital resources to its designated community, now and in the future – Trusted Digital Repositories : Attributes and Responsibilities, An RLG-OCLC Report (RLG, 2002)

Why Auditing?
An audit establishes the soundness and dependability of a repository.

CRL Auditing
• Advisory Panel• Audit Criteria• Time table• Standards in auditing• Certification and reporting to community

Criteria for Auditing• Advisory Panel• ISO 16363 (TDR) / TRAC• Community feedback
![Page 15: January 21, 2012](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062218/56816719550346895ddb8e94/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Timetable for an Audit
1. Logistics for the audit2. Request for Documentation 3. Identify activities, policies etc. of key
significance for preservation 4. Evaluation of Repository (includes site
visit) 5. Review findings with panel6. Report findings
![Page 16: January 21, 2012](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062218/56816719550346895ddb8e94/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Standards Used in Auditing
• Metadata Standards, Dublin Core, Content Standard for Digital Geospatial Metadata (CSDGM)
• Technical Standards, ISO 27001• Data and format standards, PDF/A, etc.
![Page 17: January 21, 2012](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062218/56816719550346895ddb8e94/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Certification
• Means the Repository is “Trusted”• We report findings to the Research
Community• Considerations for: Length of Certification
and Re-Certification
![Page 18: January 21, 2012](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062218/56816719550346895ddb8e94/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Certification of HathiTrust & Portico• More information about preservation on
their websites• Assurance they are adhering to standards
and preservation strategies• Assurance that changes will take
preservation into account

Future Plans for CRL Auditing
• Use ISO 16363• Audit repositories of interest to academic
and independent researchers in the United States and Canada.
• Encourage community feedback• Become a resource for information about
digital repositories
![Page 20: January 21, 2012](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062218/56816719550346895ddb8e94/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Community involvement
• Without community feedback we will not be successful at targeting our audits
• We want to audit repositories of interest to academic and independent researchers.
![Page 21: January 21, 2012](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062218/56816719550346895ddb8e94/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
CRL is becoming a Resource for Information about Digital Repositories
• Global Resources Forum (GRF) Reviews and Profiles
• Audit reports • Webinars

Summary
CRL will continue to audit digital repositories of interest on behalf of our members using ISO 16363.
