Interoperability (3)
Benefits of interoperability:
To support the capture or inheritance of
metadata, e.g. on ingest
To support the management of multiple formats
and metadata schema within a digital
preservation system
» Current metadata specifications not entirely
clear on how this should be done
To support the exchange of information packages
outside the repository, e.g. by converting to
standard 'exchange formats'
» Networks of 'trusted repositories'
