Re: [CODE4LIB] Workflow analysis of archival arrangement and description
Hi Mark, Would it be possible to give a hypothetical example of what you're looking for? Thanks, Aaron On 8/27/2010 11:16 AM, Mark A.

Re: [CODE4LIB] Workflow analysis of archival arrangement and description
Hi Aaron et al., I suppose I'm primarily looking for diagrams or documentation that provides a moderately detailed overview of the steps involved in arrangement and description of archival records. I am mostly interested in documentation for dealing with paper records. Born-digital archives/electronic records might be useful but I'm hoping to exclude any workflows dealing with digitization explicitly. I should add I'm looking for documentation explicitly developed with archival practice in mind. Mark A.

(Open Archival Information System) It's a reference model, so goes over the sorts of things that digital archives should do as they're ingesting / storing / disseminating things, but isn't a specific implementation. Current version (2002): http://public.ccsds.org/publications/archive/650x0b1.pdf There's also drafts as they're working towards making it an ISO standard. I'm not sure if this is the most recent version or not, but it matches the last draft ID (p-1-1) up for review on the CCSDS site: http://ddp.nist.gov/refs/650x0p11_OAIS_pink_book.pdf -Joe

Hi, Mark: The DCC has a great digital curation lifecycle model that might be useful: http://www.dcc.ac.uk/digital-curation/digital-curation-faqs/dcc-curation-lifecycle-model Adelle Frank Emory University http://adellefrank.com On Tue, Aug 31, 2010 at 8:36 AM, Joe Hourcle onei...@grace.nascom.nasa.govwrote: On Fri, 27 Aug 2010, Mark A.
