Definitions
- "Significant properties are those aspects of a digital record that must be preserved over time in order for it to remain accessible and meaningful." Knight, G., 2008, Framework for the definition of significant properties (Inspect Project document)
- "Transformational Information Property: An Information Property whose preservation is regarded as being necessary but not sufficient to verify that any Non-Reversible Transformation has adequately reserved information content. This could be important as contributing to evidence about Authenticity. Such Information Properties will need to be associated with specific Representation Information, including Semantic Information, to denote how they are encoded and what they mean.
