11. Archival information is machine-actionable
(
)
Statement IT systems must be able to find, access, interoperate, and reuse information with none or minimal human intervention. Rational Humans rely on computational support to process information in a meaningful and scalable manner to cope with the increase in volume, complexity, and creation speed of information. This is especially relevant when defining and managing metadata. Implications Information in archives should be Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable for both humans and machines. Specifically, the information in archives: - Is assigned a globally unique and persistent identifier. - Is retrievable by their identifier using a standardised communications protocol. - Use a formal, accessible, shared, and broadly applicable language for knowledge representation. - Is released with a clear and accessible data usage license. In many cases, archives also make an effort to ensure that appropriate viewers for all data and file formats are available either within their own systems or as “standard practice” within their users’ devices.
