- PaaST (1.0) 2017 (†860 p. 36): An instance of TargetState should be created whenever there is a change of state of a PreservationTarget, BinaryEncoding, DigitalComponent or Instantiation or when existing state data is verified in a PreservationAssessment. State changes include creation, deletion and modification of the value of one or more Features of an object. TargetState, thus, captures the impact of a PreservationAction on any PreservationTarget. TargetState subclasses include: · SubmissionStatus about the authorization, Submitter, transmission, contents or conditions of a Submission; · StorageStatus describing the storage of DigitalComponent; · Assessment Status, describing the results of Preservation Assessment, · VerificationStatus, describing the results of Verification, and · PreservationDescription, a generic category for other data that describe the preservation of a PreservationTarget.
