The OCFL Editors are pleased to announce version 1.1 of the Oxford Common
File Layout. The focus of this revision is correction and clarification
based on implementation experience and community feedback. Version 1.1 is
backward compatible with version 1.0.
The initiative originated in September 2017 from informal discussions at a
Fedora/Samvera camp in Oxford, UK. These discussions identified the need
for a simple, non-proprietary, specified, open-standards approach to the
layout of files for the purpose of preservation persistence.
The OCFL website at https://ocfl.io includes the most up-to-date version of
the specification <https://ocfl.io/1.1/spec>, the implementation notes
<https://ocfl.io/1.1/implementation-notes/>, and the latest draft. The press
release
<https://ocfl.io/news/#version-11-of-the-oxford-common-file-layout-ocfl-released>
announcing the OCFL version 1.1 can be found on the news section of the
OCFL website and includes more information detailing the release.
If you’re implementing OCFL locally, please let us know
<https://ocfl.io/#participate>.
Sincerely,
The OCFL Editors:
Neil Jefferies (Bodleian Libraries, University of Oxford)
Rosalyn Metz (Emory University)
Julian Morley (Stanford University)
Simeon Warner (Cornell University)
