IGP:Repository 2
Self-replicating, trustworthy digital archiving: OAIS reference model
IGP:Repository is designed to address the data management requirements of organizations with large and/or content management requirements, and who want to implement a practical formal content management system. IGP:Repository 2 is a practical implementation of the OAIS (Reference Model for an Open Archival Information System).
It can store digital assets of any type, but is especially suitable for the storage of archival and records grade assets that have been selected for preservation. It is the foundation of a stable, trusted and effective storage system to allow the owner to implement practical deployable, extensible and affordable archiving strategies.
Long Term Storage Trust
Long-term preservation of digital information on a scale adequate for the demands of the future requires a deep infrastructure supporting a distributed system of digital archives. IGP:Repository 2 addresses and provides direct implementations of the major storage trust requirements including:
- Digital Preservation Archives
- Records Management with retention enforcement
- eMail Archiving
Policy Driven
IGP:Repository 2 does this through a formal policy driven interface that is easy to use and setup and is substantially self managing:
- Set and control ingestion policies
- Set and control access policies
- Provides archive administration facilities
- Provide high levels of content security to prevent unauthorized access and tampering
- Enables a preservation planning strategy
- Non-proprietary content storage with migration policies
- Optional METS packaging for "high-ground" archiving
IGP:Repository 2 creates a self-managing, distributed, scalable storage system capable of handling all future needs, including migration to future systems.
