The Government Printing Office is in the third phase of a planning process to develop a comprehensive system for information lifecycle management which will transform GPO's role and practices. This Future Digital System is being planned based on the OAIS reference model, to be policy-driven and highly responsive to the needs of all classes of users, for content creation, management, and information seeking. The system will assist in content creation, verify and track versions, track and certify authenticity, preserve content, and provide permanent public access. The presentation will describe the planning process, with specific reference to the Concept of Operations published in October, 2004, and the completion of high-level requirements in Spring, 2005.
