Some prior knowledge of XML and OAIS is required. eDAVID archival research - drafts - "Digital containers for shipment into the future": Following on from the digital preservation strategy recommended by the DAVID project, this paper describes the subsequent need for an appropriate digital storage method, as well as the solution: a combination of the application of the OAIS-information model and the encapsulation of all components of an electronic record in one container file or Archival Information Package (AIP). - The storage solution described in “Digital containers for shipment into the future" uses XML container files. eDAVID has developed several XML schemas to implement this storage solution for the Antwerp City Archives. These XML schemas define the formal model for the XML documents. There is an XML schema for: the XML-container file or AIP a general metadata set for managing of electronic records archival description conforming to ISAD(G) the document types for which XML is used as a preservation format: email databases agendas .: an project :.
