Hi Meg, et. al.,

A colleague turned my attention to the Producer-Archive Interface
Methodology Abstract Standard (PAIMAS) last month as a supplemental to OAIS.
I had not known that PAIMAS even existed before then. See here:
public.ccsds.org/publications/archive/651x0m1.pdf.

I think it is still in Magenta version at CCSDS.

It reminded me that there may be plenty of model/metric recs & standards out
there that are relevant to digital preservation in some fashion and worth
scouring for. Let me know if you come across things of interest. I'll get
PAIMAS accounted for on the wiki at the least. If you (or anyone else
interested in the Practices/Models & Evaluation Metrics categories) would
like to start a Google Doc to list things I am fine with that as well.

All best,

Matt
