Foreword

ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.

International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, 2.

The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.

In exceptional circumstances, when a technical committee has collected data of a different kind from that which is normally published as an International Standard (“state of the art”, for example), it may decide by a simple majority vote of its participating members to publish a Technical Report. A Technical Report is entirely informative in nature and does not have to be reviewed until the data it provides are considered to be no longer valid or useful.

Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

ISO/TR 10255 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 171, Document management applications, Subcommittee SC 2, Application issues.

Introduction

This Technical Report specifies the recommendations and provides guidance for maintaining archival optical disk collections. The problem identified is one of systems becoming obsolete prior to the expiration of the useful life of the information. Additionally, technology is evolving so rapidly that the systems might be obsolete prior to the storage media reaching its life expectancy. These issues require a considerable amount of planning to occur in the initial stages of the development and implementation of imaging systems to provide a plan for migrating the information from a system utilizing obsolete technology to a system employing advanced technology. This planning is invaluable to the overall success of the system as the information itself might have a lifespan greater than the media and technology combined, resulting in inaccessibility.

The purpose of this Technical Report is to recommend methodologies by which optical disk users can understand various optical disk issues, such as implementation, retention, obsolescence, and basic data management. In addition, this report provides information describing the differences between various optical components as well as some basic concepts that should be used when determining which optical solution best fits the users' needs.

A list of related standards is given in Annex A.

1 Scope

This Technical Report gives recommendations and provides guidance for maintaining archival optical disk collections. It describes the various services that would be necessary for the management of an optical media-based system to ensure a successful implementation of this technology.

This Technical Report also

• provides guidance in the maintenance of data residing on on-line, off-line, and near-line digital optical storage devices;
• establishes a plan to ensure the migration path of digital information from early and current technology and optical media to future technologies and media;
• provides guidance for the short- and long-term effect of the finite life of digital optical storage devices.

This Technical Report also describes all forms of optical disk media including write-once-read-many (WORM), magneto-optical (MO), compact disk (CD), digital versatile disk (DVD) and newer technologies.
