DOCUMENT DESCRIPTIONThe review document recommends a technique for the packaging of data and metadata, including software, into a single package (e.g., file or message) to facilitate information transfer and archiving.  It provides a detailed specification of core packaging structures and mechanisms that meet current CCSDS agency requirements and that augment the current CCSDS packaging and language Recommendations to accommodate the current computing environment and meet evolving requirements. This Recommendation leverages the wide community acceptance and usage of XML technologies by making the packaging manifest an XML document defined by the XML Schema specified in the document.
