23/7/4:SB-PDT:Not protectively marked copyright BAE SYSTEMS 2005 Immortal Information Implications When we update a model in 20 years time: CAD System replaced twice The hardware replaced 6 times Given old software on an old computer, we need person who remembers how to use it. Chances of reading old CAD data?

23/7/4:SB-PDT:Not protectively marked copyright BAE SYSTEMS 2005 Immortal Information OAIS Overview

23/7/4:SB-PDT:Not protectively marked copyright BAE SYSTEMS 2005 Immortal Information OAIS Standard to compare Archive systems Covers Producer to Consumer Defines –terms –processes –NOT data formats Ingest agreement

23/7/4:SB-PDT:Not protectively marked copyright BAE SYSTEMS 2005 Immortal Information LOTAR Developing European Aerospace Standard Detailed guidance for –CAD –PDM –etc (but later) Data Validation Information Authentification Harmonize with AIA (US Aerospace)

23/7/4:SB-PDT:Not protectively marked copyright BAE SYSTEMS 2005 Immortal Information Key Issue - Retention is not an Afterthought Design Archive Approval Decision Fit to Archive Use now Retention Integral to Design Design Archive Approval Decision Fit to Archive Use Now Archiving as Afterthought Automatic, low cost, can be part of QA Manual, high cost Money down drain
