title: TOWARDS INTEROPERABLE PRESERVATION REPOSITORIES (TIPR): THE INTER-REPOSITORY SERVICE AGREEMENT
creators: Priscilla Caplan Joseph Pawletko William Kehoe
abstract: The TIPR Project (Towards Interoperable Preservation Repositories) runs from October 2008 through September 2010. The aim of the project is to develop, test, and promote a standard format for exchanging information packages among OAIS-based repositories. This paper reviews the use cases for the transfer of information from one repository to another, reviews the Repository eXchange Format (RXP) developed by TIPR, and discusses the need for additional information not contained in the exchange package itself. It looks at two existing specifications, the Producer-Archive Interface Methodology and Into the Archive (Wege ins Archiv), in the context of inter-repository transfer. Finally it outlines information required in an inter-repository service agreement.
