What the Work Package did
This work package defined an E-ARK Dissemination Information Package (E-ARK-DIP) format, and provided access methods and interfaces for structured and unstructured archival records. Referring to the OAIS reference model the consumer gets access to the information in the archive by using an access and presentation system. The consumer requests information from the archive by using the access system, which requests the database of the archive to retrieve the matching archival information packages (AIPs). These AIPs are disseminated by the system into Dissemination Information Package DIPs. These DIPs are used by the presentation system to present the contained information to the consumer.
