7. CCSDS Meeting ’Producer-Archive Interface, 31/03/ 2003 CNES 7 CNES standards (RNC)  CNES manages a set of standards applicable to its various activities  They may be: Existing standards published by ISO, CCSDS, ECSS (European Cooperation for Space Standardization) or CEN (European Committee for Standardization) Standards drafted specifically by CNES  This set of standards is divided up into 5 areas: Management, quality assurance, engineering, launch vehicle engineering and regulations Engineering is further divided into systems engineering, software engineering, electrical and electronic engineering…

8. CCSDS Meeting ’Producer-Archive Interface, 31/03/ 2003 CNES 8 CNES standards (RNC)  In late 2003, a new area known as ‘data engineering’ was created. It includes : At the highest level v An introductory document justifying its existence v The OAIS reference model On a technical level v A document assessing data formats geared to long-term preservation Documents currently being prepared v Rules applicable to data-producing projects v Rules applicable to entities in charge of long-term information preservation These standards will also include a set of CCSDS standards (EAST, DEDSL, PAIMAS…)

9. CCSDS Meeting ’Producer-Archive Interface, 31/03/ 2003 CNES 9 European standardization activity in the aerospace industry  Draft AECMA (the European association of aerospace industries ) Draft standard Long Term Archiving and Retrieval of digital technical products documentation such as 3D, CAD and PDM data within the aerospace industry PDM – Product data Management CAD – Computer Assisted Design  (in the framework of the international LOTAR activity)

10. CCSDS Meeting ’Producer-Archive Interface, 31/03/ 2003 CNES 10 LOTAR  Long Term Archival & Retrieval of Digital Product data

11. CCSDS Meeting ’Producer-Archive Interface, 31/03/ 2003 CNES 11 LOTAR Forum (Core Team Members and Represented Companies)

12. CCSDS Meeting ’Producer-Archive Interface, 31/03/ 2003 CNES 12 Ongoing work by the French PIN Group  This inter-organizational group focuses on the long-term preservation of digital information,  Its activity is regularly expanding  More than 15 organizations and ministries take part in its activities  Organization of a 4-day training course on long-term preservation and access to digital information

13. CCSDS Meeting ’Producer-Archive Interface, 31/03/ 2003 CNES 13 Ongoing work by the French PIN Group  Training course contents: Global context of the issue Storage: managing storage media Formats used to represent information The OAIS reference model Preservation metadata Strategy and organization of digital archiving Legal aspects Access to information

14. CCSDS Meeting ’Producer-Archive Interface, 31/03/ 2003 CNES 14 Ongoing work by the French PIN Group  In all, 30 hours of training and around 800 slides An animated tutorial of the OAIS model would be really useful. This could also be done by the Data Archive Ingest Working Group  8 speakers who together prepared a consistent course  45 participants Information specialists Archivists Librarians Computer specialists  Another training course is scheduled for late 2005 and 2 sessions in 2006 There is already a long waiting list  A 2 weeks “summer school” for 2006 ins also under consideration

15. CCSDS Meeting ’Producer-Archive Interface, 31/03/ 2003 CNES 15 Ongoing work by the French PIN Group  Action with respect to industrial firms From the organizational model to the identification of products  There are few representatives from industry or software editors in the definition of OAIS-defined products and services Yet needs are expanding and there is a real market in this area  In June, the PIN group plans on presenting storage service needs to different players in this field: IBM, Storage Tek, Hi-Stor… and to initiate dialogue with these firms

16. CCSDS Meeting ’Producer-Archive Interface, 31/03/ 2003 CNES 16 Developments at CNES: SITOOLS  SITOOLS is being developed within a research and technology framework to demonstrate that it is possible to develop a data management and access system for laboratories that is: simple generic fully portable (Windows, Linux, Unix, Mac) interoperable based on open source software  SITOOLS is based on a concept of services: interconnected by a virtual Web Services bus, offering a global service which includes v basic services (catalogue, user space, repository) v added-value services (AVS) accessed by one or more client applications. The system may run locally, on a single machine, or be distributed over several machines or even several laboratories.

18. CCSDS Meeting ’Producer-Archive Interface, 31/03/ 2003 CNES 18 SITOOLS  SITools has already been tested by three laboratories.  One of them, the Space Astrophysics Institute IAS, has decided to use it to provide access to the following data: Solar physics data (SOHO and others spaces missions) Planetary data (Mars Express, OMEGA) Astronomy data (Most and Corot)  SITools V2 (full version) will be fully operational and tested by the end of 2005. It will be presented and proposed to the scientific community at that time.

19. CCSDS Meeting ’Producer-Archive Interface, 31/03/ 2003 CNES 19 Ongoing work for PAIMAS implementation  A draft white paper was written and presented at Toulouse in November 2004 à Toulouse “Specification for the Formal Definition and Transfer Phase of a Producer-Archive Interface”  It was decided to validate the concepts put forward by a number of test cases  In November 2004, CNES drafted guidelines (Use Cases Guideline) on the analysis and description of test cases Don Sawyer detailed a test case with NSSDC data
