Fig. 19.3 STFC MST website
The MST website is currently located at http://mst.nerc.ac.uk (Fig. 19.3 ). Due
to the sites' simple structure, which consists of a set of static pages and common
file types it would be a relatively simple operation to run a web archiving tool
such as HTtrack ( http://www.httrack.com/ ) to copy the website and add additional
RepInfo on HTML, PDF, MS Word and JPEG from the DCC Registry Repository
of Representation Information RRORI. HTtrack is only one of a range of web-
archiving tools which are freely available and require minimal skill to operate.
However it is worth noting that it is only by virtue of the technical simplicity of
the site that it is so relatively easy to archive and preserve.
MST1.6
PACK component was used to create and add checksum to the AIP maintaining the
existing directory structure of data files.
MST 1.7
The current directory structure is logical and well thought out. This should be main-
tained in the AIP package. Details of archiving conventions are recorded in the
MST website http://mst.nerc.ac.uk/archiving_conventions.html which will need to
be altered by the removal of the BADC from the top of the directory hierarchy
structure to avoid confusion.

19.5.1.1 Preservation Information Network Model for MST Simple Solution
A preservation information network model (Fig. 19.4 ) is a representation of the
digital objects, operations and relationships which allow a preservation objective to
be met for a future designated community. The model provides a sharable, stable
and organized structure for digital objects and their associated requirements. The
