''Goals''
#Obtain guidance on design features covering all aspects of the OAIS model:
Ingest—receipt and verification of records;
Archival Storage—secure storage of records;
Data Management—secure management of records;
Administration—management of internal and external relations;
Preservation—management of record integrity and security over time; and
Access—provision of records in response to user queries.

#Particular areas of concern:
Management issues
* How would the system be administered?
* How can depositors be incentivized?
* How would the system be sustainably funded?
* What intellectual property policies need to be put into place?

System architecture issues
*What is the role for bona fide data federation/integration technology?
*What is the (meaning of and) need for a trusted repository?
*What is the role of distributed/grid storage?

User interface and interoperability issues
*How to synchronize ingestion with journal publication and 3rd-part database deposition?
*How to enable harvesting of data by 3rd-parties (e.g. OAI-MHP)?
*What should be the functionality of the interface to the centralized registry?
*What metadata is required an how to generate it (Dublin Core, DDI-lite, EML, standards imposed by specialized repositories)?
