Abstract
OAIS describes packaging at a high level, as outlined in Sect. 6.3.4, where it is stressed that the package is a logical structure, i.e. does not have to be a single file. Despite stressing the logical structure, it can be useful to package digital objects – let’s say files – together in a single file, for example a ZIP [142] file. However if one simply did that then there would be no indication of the relationship between the files, so there must be some mechanism for specifying the relationship. In any practical system one needs to encode the links somehow.
