*High Level Residential Training Course on ISO 16363 for Auditors and
Managers of Digital Repositories*

*London 29 Sept – 3 Oct 2014*

The Primary Trustworthy Digital Repository Authorisation Body (ISO-PTAB)
plays a major role in training auditors and repository managers.  There are
three important ISO standards:

   - ISO 14721 (OAIS – a reference model for what is required for an
   archive to provide long-term preservation of digital information)
   - ISO 16363 (Audit and certification of trustworthy digital repositories
   – sets out comprehensive metrics for what an archive must do, based on OAIS)
   - ISO 16919 (soon to be published - Requirements for bodies providing
   audit and certification of candidate trustworthy digital repositories –
   specifies the competencies and requirements on auditing bodies)

These three standards form a closely-related family and an understanding of
their principles and use will become increasingly important in establishing
an internationally recognised set of trustworthy digital repositories.

The authors of these standards will be running a 5-day residential training
course in London from 29 September - 3 October 2014.
Places for this course are limited so please register your interest on the
PTAB web site and we will forward details of the training schedule and
logistics by return, including registration and payment details – see
http://www.iso16363.org/.
