[Tibbo, Helen R]

Want to learn about auditing digital repositories? Gain skills and knowledge to assess your own repository according to international standards?
In this workshop you will not only learn about relevant repository and auditing standards, you will also see how to assess your own repository and what steps might be necessary to bring your repository into compliance with ISO 16363.

Act now - last few places left for High Level Training Course on ISO 16363 for Managers of Digital Repositories
Pasadena, USA 26-30 January 2015
The course will be taught by the authors of these standards

The Primary Trustworthy Digital Repository Authorisation Body (PTAB) was set up by the authors of ISO16363 and ISO16969 standards in order to ensure that a consultancy and training service would be provided to industry, finance, legal bodies, government, scientific, memory and archive institutions by world experts in the field ensuring consistency and accuracy to maintain the highest possible standards are put in place.  All the training will be carried out by members of the PTAB team.  There are three important ISO standards:
*       ISO 14721:2012 (OAIS - a reference model for what is required for an archive to provide long-term preservation of digital information)
*       ISO 16363:2013 (Audit and certification of trustworthy digital repositories - sets out comprehensive metrics for what an archive must do, based on OAIS)
*       ISO 16919:2014 (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 and certified set of trustworthy digital repositories.
The authors of these standards will be running a 5-day training course at The Athenaeum,  <https://www.athenaeumcaltech.com> Caltech, in Pasadena, CA from 26-30 January 2015. The course is divided into modules, each of which consists of a presentation, practical exercises and discussion.
