Description
SIARD Suite extracts the contents from a relational database and saves them in the SIARD format which is appropriate for archiving.
In this format, the data is stored for future generations and can be uploaded into a new database that may differ from the original.
Therefore, this method allows to retain data independently of the original database and to reuse them in the future in modern database systems.
SIARD format
SIARD stands for Software Independent Archiving of Relational Databases. Originally the Swiss Federal Archives (SFA) have developed the SIARD format as a sustainable solution for the archiving of relations databases.
In early 2013 SIARD format has been adopted as an eCH Standard (eCH-0165: SIARD format specification http://www.ech.ch/vechweb/page?p=dossier&documentNumber=eCH-0165).
eCH is the Swiss organization for standardization in the field of e-government. eCH Standards define guidelines for recurring applications and their results, as for example format definitions or procedural standards. The aim of those standards is to unify and thus facilitate the electronic collaboration between authorities as well as between authorities and organizations, educational and research institutions, firms and private organizations.
