How to deal with Additional Information

This section described how to deal with all the other types of Additional Information, which is encoded as Data Objects.

Any piece of Additional Information is encoded as data - of particular here it will be as digital data.

Each data object will need Representation Information so that the data can be understood and used. Therefore Representation Informationis described first.

Provenance is described in some detail, in Provenance Information, as an example.

Many of the types of Additional Information are needed to create an Archival Information Package, as described in OAIS and ISO 16363.
