In this Part the Archives appraises the formats of the records that it should accession into the Preservation System and determines if any of these records are in formats that are not one of the formats that the Preservation System supports. The Archives must determine if it will: 1) transform the records into one of the existing preservation formats, 2) transform the records into a new preservation format, or 3) keep the records in their existing formats and make that format a new preservation format. In order to create a new preservation format, the Archive will have to select a variety of rules and standards that apply to the format and identify the Representation Information that is needed for the new format.
