TRAC v ISO 16363

[maconrad99]

Notes says:

"The ISO 16363 "TDR standard" is based on the ISO 14271 Open Archival Information System standard ("OAIS" see CCDS 650.0) and Trusted Digital Repositories and Audit Checklist ("TRAC" see CCDS 652.0)."

The link at CC**S**DS 652.0 is to ISO 16363 - Audit and Certification of Trustworthy Digital Repositories. It is not a link to TRAC. ISO 16363 is based on TRAC, several other documents, and original work of the ISO Working Group that developed the standard. It should not be conflated with TRAC. ISO 16363 is used for assessing conformance to ISO 14721.

About says,

"An ISO 16363 audit for determining the trustworthiness and durability of the information that is stored long-term in a digital repository is particularly useful for scenarios involving legal evidence, historical accuracy, scientific reproduciblity, verifiable facts, intellectual property, proprietary knowledge, data relevance and ranking, deep learning training, etc."

An ISO 16363 audit and certification involves third party audits by ISO-accredited certification bodies in accordance with ISO 17021, ISO 16363, and ISO 16919. None of the organizations in this list have undergone an ISO 16363 audit. Self audits and CRL audits should not be conflated with ISO 16363 audits.

Thanks for this clarification, Mark. I've made the necessary corrections.

BTW @maconrad99. Do you know where we could find a list of organizations that have successfully completed ISO 16363 audits? I'd love to add them to this list.
