The transfer of digital information, while intending to preserve it, within the OAIS. It is distinguished from transfers in general by three attributes:

a focus on the preservation of the full information content that needs preservation;

a perspective that the new archival implementation of the information is a replacement for the old; and

an understanding that full control and responsibility over all aspects of the transfer resides with the OAIS.
