ISO/TC 171/SC 2, the Technical Committee responsible for developing standards for document file formats, EDMS systems, and authenticity of information, is developing ISO/WD 20271-1, a standard focused on the long-term preservation of text documents.
ISO/WD 20271-1, titled "Document management — Reference model for long-term preservation of text documents — Part 1: Fundamentals," will define the fundamental aspects of text documents necessary for their long-term preservation. This includes covering the concept, elements, and components of text documents.
Currently under development, ISO/WD 20271-1 is at stage 20.20 of its life cycle. The technical committee is diligently working towards the first edition of this standard, which will establish a solid foundation for text document preservation practices.
As organizations increasingly rely on digital documentation, preserving text documents over the long term becomes paramount to ensure their accessibility, integrity, and authenticity. The goal for ISO/WD 20271-1 is a comprehensive reference model to guide organizations in achieving the practical long-term preservation of text documents.
Stay tuned for further updates on the progress of ISO/WD 20271-1. To learn more about ISO/TC 171/SC 2 and their contributions to document management, please visit their official ISO webpage.
