Have you already looked at OAIS?  (Open Archival Information System)

It's a reference model, so goes over the sorts of things that digital 
archives should do as they're ingesting / storing / disseminating things, 
but isn't a specific implementation.

Current version (2002):

There's also drafts as they're working towards making it an ISO standard. 
I'm not sure if this is the most recent version or not, but it matches the 
last draft ID (p-1-1) up for review on the CCSDS site:
