OAIS

OAIS (Open Archival Information System) is a framework that guides how digital information is preserved and managed over time. It ensures that digital data—like documents, images, or videos—remains accessible, understandable, and usable in the future. OAIS defines roles and processes for collecting, storing, maintaining, and providing access to digital content, emphasizing the importance of clear documentation and preservation strategies. Think of it as a detailed blueprint for creating a reliable digital archive that ensures valuable information is preserved for long-term use.
