Representation Information Clause Samples
The Representation Information clause defines the specific facts, statements, or assurances that one party provides to another within a contract. These representations typically relate to the party’s authority, legal status, or the accuracy of information relevant to the agreement, such as confirming ownership of assets or compliance with laws. By clearly outlining these representations, the clause helps ensure that both parties have a mutual understanding of key facts, thereby reducing the risk of misunderstandings or disputes arising from inaccurate or incomplete information.
Representation Information. The information that maps a Data Object into more meaningful concepts. An example is the ASCII definition that describes how a sequence of bits (i.e., a Data Object) is mapped into a symbol.
Representation Information. Representation Information is particularly important to Access since it is the information which is required to understand and render both data and metadata, or, as it is stated in the OAIS, p. 1-1366: “Representation Information: The information that maps a Data Object into more meaningful concepts. An example is the ASCII definition that describes how a sequence of bits (i.e., a Data Object) is mapped into a symbol.” Representation Information can be subdivided into three classes: ● Structural Information: describes the format and data structure concepts to be applied to the bitstream, which result in more meaningful values like characters or number of pixels.¾ ● Semantic Information: this is needed on top of the structural information. If the digital object is interpreted by the structural information as a sequence of text characters, the semantic information should include details of which language is being expressed. ● Other Representation Information: includes information about relevant software, hardware and storage media, encryption or compression algorithms, and printed documentation. The Representation Information can be executable software, if that’s helpful. Rather than having further Representation Information which defines what a PDF is, it’s more helpful to simply use a PDF viewer, instead67. The OAIS needs to track this carefully though, because, one day, PDF viewers may cease to exist or work properly, and the original Representation Information would then need to be updated, together with other preservation strategies like file format migration or emulation, which will bring new requirements to the necessary representation information. In the E-ARK projekt, we cover representation in different ways. For example by the use of the Documentation folder which is presented as a container where one can place all the information that one has collected during the pre-ingest phase which somehow helps the archivist and the Consumer to better understand the data stored in the IP. This folder fulfils well the requirements of the transfer of archival material from the producer to the archive. One does not want to over complicate the SIP creation step that is already a huge burden for most producers. Having a container that allows producers to include whatever extra documentation or information they have that may help to understand the data is a very welcome feature. Other examples of Representation Information in the E-ARK IP is the use of PREMIS to i...
Representation Information. For a Data Object to be useful decades from now, its format specification and characteristics must be documented and preserved. The Representation Information provides syntax (structure) and/or semantics (meaning) to decode the encoded Data Object.
