| The archiving workflow in the RDMS allows the owner of a [[rdms:solution:projects|RDMS Project]] to archive the data contained in the project folder by following a step-by-step process in the web interface. An archive in the RDMS is **a bundled dataset**, called //data package//, that contains both data and related metadata, and has been **frozen by making it read-only** in the system. The archive is by default **labelled with a creation date** to inform the user of when the data was frozen. The archived dataset (data package) can then be pushed to the publication workflow (**still in development**), which will allow the publishing of the dataset metadata to the outside world, in compliance with the Open Science framework. | The archiving workflow in the RDMS allows the owner of a [[rdms:solution:projects|RDMS Project]] to archive the data contained in the project folder by following a step-by-step process in the web interface.

| In this step, the previously unstructured data that was moved to the project's archive space in the RDMS is bundled to a so called **data package**. This data package is a tar file containing the selected data, as well as RDMS file and folder metadata if the option to export it was selected in the previous step. | In this step, the previously unbundled data that was moved to the project's archive space in the RDMS is bundled to a so called **data package**.

| If you select the //Create data package// option in the menu, the RDMS system will automatically bundle the previously unstructured data into a tar archive. Afterwards, the next step (adding metadata to data package) can follow. | If you select the //Create data package// option in the menu, the RDMS system will automatically bundle the previously unbundled data into a tar archive.
