Mathematical Model of Long-Term Storage Electronic Document Metadata

This article presents the development of a mathematical model of metadata of an electronic document for long-term storage as part of the solution to the general problem of ensuring long-term preservation. Metadata includes not only such data about the document as authors, time and place of creation, time of modification, format information, document title, and others. But also data on specific transactions on a document, such as verifying a document with an electronic signature, checking the interpretability and authenticity of a document. In addition, metadata includes index data, referenced and master data, data on connections with other documents. During the study, a fairly detailed modeling of the metadata of an electronic document of long-term storage was performed. The modeling results can be used to organize long-term storage of electronic documents in terms of solving the problem of interpretability of electronic documents and designing storage software. In the course of further research, the author plans to develop a mathematical model for assessing the interpretability of metadata of long-term electronic documents. #CSOC1120
