- The intent of the ICPSR pipeline process is to curate, “preserve and access information for the Long Term” (see “Reference Model for an Open Archival Information System (OAIS)”, Consultative Committee for Space Data Systems, Page 2-1. http://public.ccsds.org/publications/archive/650x0b1.PDF).Throughout the pipeline, our intent is to insure that curated data are independently understandable – that is, “the community should be able to understand the information without needing the assistance of the experts who produced the information” (see “Reference Model for an Open Archival Information System (OAIS)”, Consultative Committee for Space Data Systems, Page 3-1. http://public.ccsds.org/publications/archive/650x0b1.PDF).
