Publication and distribution
Media productionmakesinformation products available for distribution. An information product is provided either on paper or electronically (e.g. embedded, online or mobile).
Distribution comprises the design, management and control of all processes to bring the information product to the user for use. The information product must usually be distributed together with the product. In certain cases, the distribution of the information product can take place separately from the distribution of the product.
Archiving
At the end of a project, all relevant project information, project results and information products must be archived. Electronic archiving enables unalterable, long-term storage of electronic information. Various conceptual and organizational specifications are made for systematic archiving. Electronic archiving is supported by various tools and their functions and components.
As a result of this process step, all project results and project-relevant information are archived.
- Archiving of all project results and project-relevant information (e.g. information products, supplier documentation, service provider documentation, certificates and declarations, and internal information)
- Archiving concepts, creation of filing structures, use of metadata and versioning, archive management
- Archiving processes, retrievability of archived documents
- Definition of roles and responsibilities, access rights
- Archiving of relevant document contexts (e.g. supplier documents, developer documents, third-party documents) and preservation of references between these documents
- Documentation of the archiving system, criteria for determining archiving periods
- Standards for electronic archiving (e.g. OAIS "Reference Model for an Open Archive Information System", ISO standard 14721 or ISO standard 14721:2012)
- Storage media
- Accessibility, access times and access security
- Data backup and restore
- Data security and revision security (data immutability)
- Archiving systems
- Tools and data formats for archiving
