A Standard Reference Model for Data Archives

An implementable Data Archive Architecture is being developed for trusted digital repositories based on the Reference Model for an Open Archival Information System (OAIS) – ISO 14721. A set of interoperable protocols and interface specifications are planned that will offer capabilities for accessing, merging, and re-using data, both within and across the operational boundaries of trustworthy digital repositories. The model will also provide support for the fundamental scientific need to verify the reproducibility of results. This standards development task is being performed by the Data Archive Interoperability (DAI) working group within the Consultative Committee for Space Data Systems (CCSDS). The architecture integrates concepts from the OAIS Reference Model, the ISO/IEC 11179 Metadata Registry (MDR) standard, the CCSDS Reference Architecture for Space Information Management (RASIM), the proposed draft recommended practice document, Information Preparation to Enable Long Term Use (IPELTU), and three decades of digital repository development for science research.

The PDS4 Information Model Design Principles - How Well Did They Work?

The Planetary Data System (PDS) recently released Version 1.5 of the PDS4 Information Model, the primary component of the PDS4 Information Architecture. The Information Model is now stable and is in use by three active missions and several missions in various phases of development. The Information Model drives the PDS4 Information System using a multi-level governance structure that provides for common, discipline, and mission level management of the system’s information standards. For the development of the PDS4 Information Model several design principles were adopted. This paper will describe each design principle and then explain how well they worked, problems encountered during development and their solutions, and how well the results meet the requirements of the multi-discipline planetary science community.

An Ontology Driven Information Architecture for Interoperable Disparate Data Sources

The mission of the Planetary Data System is to facilitate achievement of NASA's planetary science goals by efficiently collecting, archiving, and making accessible digital data produced by or relevant to NASA's planetary missions, research programs, and data analysis programs. The vision is: (1) To gather and preserve the data obtained from exploration of the Solar System by the U.S. and other nations (2) To facilitate new and exciting discoveries by providing access to and ensuring usability of those data to the worldwide community (3) To inspire the public through availability and distribution of the body of knowledge reflected in the PDS data collection PDS is a federation of heterogeneous nodes including science and support nodes
