E-ARK DIP
(
)
The E-ARK Dissemination Information Package (DIP) specification describes the pan-European standard for packaging data and metadata for dissemination purposes. The specification is built on and reuses fully the Common Specification for Information Packages but extends it with aspects relevant in long-term storage. The definition of an E-ARK DIP is led by practical access considerations: a DIP is an Information Package which is ready to be accessed and processed by the consumer who requested the information.
