Abstract:
... This paper describes the process used to develop the draft IPDA Information Model, the final deliverable of the IPDA Archive Data Standards Requirements Identification project. The IPDA Reference System Architecture, outlined in Figure 1, suggests set of best practice specifications to be used for guiding the implementation of IPDA compliant archive data systems. Of the three core components, namely the process, data, and technology architecture standards, this project focused on the Information Model namely the object models and a data dictionary as hightlighted in Figure 1.
