Hello, I suspect your question hasn't received an immediate answer, because it's a difficult question to answer exactly when it comes to any software platform.
The OAIS reference model doesn't really describe a set of "features" that one software platform should accomplish, but rather describes an overarching framework for establishing an archival service (often via a set of software platforms/tools). In other words, it's much more a conceptual archival framework than a system architecture or design. https://www.oclc.org/research/publications/library/2000/lavoie-oais.html https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_Archival_Information_System All that said, DSpace does provide many features that can be considered key pieces of an OAIS system. * DSpace provides various ingest options, whether it's uploading via web forms, or batch uploading via our own SIP-like package (called DSpace Simple Archive Format): https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSDOC6x/Importing+and+Exporting+Items+via+Simple+Archive+Format * DSpace provides the ability to backup/export your entire DSpace as a set of AIPs (so you can store them in your archival storage platform of choice), and also reimport/restore content in that same format: https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSDOC6x/AIP+Backup+and+Restore * DSpace provides the ability to clean up your data (data management) via Batch Metadata editing tools: https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSDOC6x/Batch+Metadata+Editing * DSpace has configurable Authentication/Authorization tools to allow you to customize who has administrative access to various collections of content, etc * DSpace provides access to the content via its web interface (which is optimized for Search Engine Optimization), while also allowing you to export to its AIP format or Simple Archive Format. Hopefully that gives you a good overview of where DSpace fits into OAIS. As much as any single software platform can be, DSpace is "OAIS compliant". But, it definitely specializes in import and access activities, while providing tools to compliment your local preservation and archival storage activities. I hope that helps. Good luck in your analysis, Tim On Thu, Oct 12, 2017 at 11:26 AM <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, Everyone. > I would like to know if it is possible to implement in DSpace all the > features provided in the OAIS reference model, especially in what concerns > digital preservation. > Thanks. > -- Tim Donohue Technical Lead for DSpace & DSpaceDirect DuraSpace.org | DSpace.org | DSpaceDirect.org -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "DSpace Community" group.
