The results of the original efforts of RLG/NARA task force and the nestor working group to develop criteria for audit and certification of trustworthy digital repositories and the work that was led by the Center for Research Libraries were foremost within the considerations throughout the development of the DRAMBORA toolkit, and in the DCC-led ...
A joint task force of OCLC/RLG and NARA built upon a previous OCLC/RLG project, Trusted Digital Repositories: Attributes and Responsibilities, [6] and wrote the metrics collectively known as Trustworthy Repositories Audit & Certification (TRAC).
