What is eArchiving?
Important information should be kept accessible and reusable for years to come, regardless of the system used to store it. eArchiving provides core specifications, software, training and knowledge to help people preserve and reuse information over the long-term.
|
Interoperability by default Following international standards and specifications for packaging digital information enables organisations to transmit documents and information across borders. It also supports the storage, access and reuse of information regardless of the platform used. |
|
Openness and transparency Having a common set of open specifications for packaging and archiving digital information, promotes a high level of transparency and confidence among all participants in the information lifecycle.
|
|
Sustainability and legal compliance With eArchiving, digital archival systems can implement reusable modular components that are compliant with various national legal requirements. |
