Benchmark Services
To ensure that minimum requirements are met:
stakeholders must clearly describe their core archiving
requirements (minimum archiving service level)
digital archival repository must clearly describe the services
it will supply (processes/outcome)
Suggests a need for common ground: “menu” of
benchmark services 1) a digital archival repository
might supply, or 2) stakeholders might require
Starting point for discussion among stakeholders,
from which a well-defined minimum archiving
service level can emerge
