| contents | OAIS Functional Model Conformance Test: A Proposed Measurement Laughton, Paul Computer Centers Data Processing Information Systems Models Archives Standards Measurement Mixed Methods Research Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to develop a test for data centres, repositories and archives to determine OAIS functional model conformance. The test developed was carried out among the World Data Centre (WDC) member data centres. The method used to develop the OAIS functional model conformance test is discussed, along with the test results. Design/methodology/approach: To conduct the OAIS functional model conformance test, a quantitative approach in the format of an online survey was used. This was part of a mixed methods research project. Findings: The test developed did produce a means for quantifying OAIS functional model conformance. The mean score for the 26 WDC member data centres that completed the test was 62.08 out of a possible 92. The highest scoring WDC member data centre obtained a score of 90, while the lowest score obtained was 27. Research limitations/implications: This test was only conducted among a relatively small sample, making it difficult to generalise the results obtained and determine how effectively the OAIS functional model conformance test measured conformance. It remains a challenge to quantify data curation practices with regard to the OAIS functional model. Originality/value: The OAIS functional model conformance test is the first attempt at quantifying OAIS functional model compliance. (Contains 2 figures and 2 tables.) |
