eArchiving Content Information Type Specifications, procedures and guidelines published
The European Commission and E-Ark consortium are pleased to announce that the E-ARK eArchiving Content Information Type Specifications, procedures and guidelines have been published, following the review period.
The eArchiving Building Block team would like to extend their thanks to all stakeholders who provided feedback on the draft documents - such contributions to this work have been crucial to moving the specifications forward for wider community adoption.
The updated documents are available on the DILCIS Board webpage. If you have any queries, please contact the DILCIS Board (info@dilcis.eu).
Next steps
This is the first updated set of specifications and supporting documentation to be published in this cycle of the eArchiving Building Block. Further Common Specifications for the Information Packages and E-ARK SIP/AIP/DIP will be published at the end of October. This update will include improvements to the handling of issues recorded in GitHub and will address recommendations based on our findings during the development of the CITS SIARD.
We are currently looking into ways to involve contributors as the specifications evolve.
Specifications event
If you would like to learn more about the specifications, we invite you to join us for a dedicated event on Tuesday 26 October at 15:00 CEST. The programme is currently under development.
