What is BS EN 9300-002 – LOTAR for aerospace about?
Data needs to be stored and maintained so that data is retrievable and usable for the required archiving period. In addition, for some business requirements, data needs to be authentically preserved and accessed. BS EN 9300 series focuses on Long Term Archiving and Retrieval (LOTAR) of digital technical product documentation. BS EN 9300-002 establishes legal and other business requirements for processes intended to preserve digital data.
BS EN 9300-002 addresses requirements for the long term archiving of digital product information, applicable to the international aerospace industry.
BS EN 9300-002 uses the Open Archival Information System (OAIS) reference model to provide comparability with other approaches to keeping information available. However, OAIS is a standard reference model for comparison. BS EN 9300-002 defines requirements for processes (and associated technologies) intended to make data available for the life of a product.
Note: BS EN 9300-002 is not intended to incorporate company-specific requirements and does not dictate specific organizational structures within a company. BS EN 9300-002 does not specify a design or implementation of an archive system.
Who is BS EN 9300-002 - LOTAR for aerospace for?
BS EN 9300-002 on LOTAR for aerospace is useful for:
- The aerospace industry
- The IT industry / the IT divisions at aerospace facilities
- Programmers
- Personnel involved in implementing / maintaining / executing LOTAR
Why should you use BS EN 9300-002 - LOTAR for aerospace?
Many companies are migrating their design processes from traditional hard-copy drawings and documents to using digital data. New processes are needed to archive digital data and preserve access to it, in compliance with business and regulatory requirements appropriate to this new media. Over these time periods, changes in technology impact the ability to retrieve and use product data. Organizations, which use digital product data, will need strategies and processes that maintain the usability of the data over multiple generations of technology.
BS EN 9300-002 addresses the need for managing the evolution of technologies required to ensure the availability and usability of the data for the required archiving period. BS EN 9300-002 provides you with requirements for standardized processes (and associated technologies) that ensure product data is retrievable and usable for as long as needed. The archiving process is developed from the OAIS Reference Model, which provides a conceptual framework for archive systems.
