The set of all Descriptors for a given Producer-Archive Project. The model of objects for transfer (MOT) is used jointly by the Producer and the Archive to provide a common and understandable hierarchical view of the Producer’s Data Objects to be transferred and their organization into collections.

Introduction

...

PAIMAS (ISO 20652:2006) and PAIS (ISO 20104:2015) require Archives and Producers to develop detailed data models prior to transferring any data to the Archive. The data model is known as Model of objects for transfer (MOT) and forms a key part of the Submission Agreement negotiated during the Preliminary Phase and Formal Definition Phase of the acquisition process.

MOTs are hierarchical structures that illustrate conceptual levels of arrangement within a fonds or collection registered in the /wiki/spaces/APM/pages/90538072. The Data Objects to be transferred are organized as Transfer Objects, which are organized as collections. A MOT typically has collections of collections.
