CUL's Common Depository System (CDS)
In order to address CUL's Priority Objective #2: "Provide Digital 'Life-Cycle' Production Services," the Implementation Team is charged with the task of building an Open Archival Information System (OAIS) for managing Cornell’s digital assets, the Common Depository System.
In collaboration with CIT and external partners, establish within three years a fully functioning, administratively supported, and sustainable Open Archival Information System (OAIS) for managing, preserving, and providing ongoing access to Cornell University’s digital assets over time, extending beyond the library to encompass university records of continuing value. This system must meet or exceed certification requirements currently being defined by an OAIS working group.
The work plan covers 2005-2006, the planning year for the project.
