Inspection targets PreservationManagementInformation, DigitalComponents and Realizations. Inspection of PreservationManagementInformation encompasses examining not only the data it contains, but also their associations and associated objects. . . . ¶ Inspection may be accomplished using software tools, where appropriate, or by observation by a human Actor. The results are captured as PreservationManagementData and may be published in a PreservationActionReport. The Inspection requirements provide for correlating data from multiple assessments of the same scope. This could be desirable in a variety of cases. (†2515)
