PAWN - Producer - Archive Workflow Network in Support of Digital Preservation
PAWN is a US-based project investigating the implementation of the Ingest Process as defined by the OAIS Reference Model. It is a collaboration between the San Diego Supercomputer Center, The University of Maryland, and the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA). The project is ingesting digital collections into a pilot persistent archive, and making use of METS to encapsulate content, structural, descriptive and preservation metadata.
