DocRM LWG
Background
Our working group is a collaborative organization of text document specialists from diverse industries. In particular, we will strive to define common understandings and guidance for significant properties within text documents that should be included in the logical structural information to ensure that the document is ideally suited for long-term preservation. It will not define any specific tools and will remain file-format agnostic. The work will also include an assessment method to quantitatively evaluate the suitability of documents for long-term preservation.
The scope of this group is limited to semantic structural information in the context of long term-preservation of text documents.
Objective
The mission of the DocRM Liaison Working Group is to work collaboratively towards a standard reference model for the long-term preservation of text documents.
