ABSTRACT
This introductory guideline is intended to support (prospective) research data centres (RDCs) in the areas of data acquisition and long-term archiving. Based on the OAIS reference model, the minimum requirements for an archive are presented. These are applied to the terminology and processes in research data centres and enriched with references and examples from practice.
