OAIS Page 4-11 & 4-12, s. 4.1.1.5 "The Audit Submission function will verify that submissions (SIP or AIP) meet the specifications of the Submission Agreement. This function receives AIP/SIP reviews from Preservation Planning and may also involve an outside committee (e.g., science and technical review). The audit process must verify that the quality of the data meets the requirements of the archive and the review committee. It must verify that there is adequate Representation Information and PDI to ensure that the Content Information is understandable and independently usable to the Designated Community. The formality of the review will vary depending on internal archive policies. The Audit process may determine that some portions of the SIP are not appropriate for inclusion in the archive and must be resubmitted or excluded. An audit report is provided to Ingest. After the audit process is completed, any liens are reported to the Producer, who will then resubmit the SIP to Ingest or appeal the decision to Administration. After the audit is completed, a final ingest report is prepared and provided to the Producer and to Negotiate Submission Agreement. Audit methods potentially include sampling, periodic review, and peer review."

Notes
  • The AIP/SIP reviews may also involve an outside committee (e.g., science and technical review) (OAIS Page 4-11)
  • Lien isn't part of the OAIS Glossary but it would be useful to have their definition in this context.
