Digital preservation of administrative is essential requirement within public organizations. In past few years, many countries have created rules and procedures, based on OAIS (Open Archival Information System) Reference Model, order to guarantee long-term preservation of their information objects. In Italy, Technical Regulations on Digital Preservation, issued 2013, have added an important piece to a long legislative process regarding Records Management and Digital Administration which has too often remained unimplemented PA practices. Mandatory protocol register digital preservation has revealed criticality of system, and in particular, lack of shared models and common terminology, regarding both key concepts and their properties and functions. Thus, during transfer phase from management system to that of digital preservation, risk associated with digital preservation process our country is that records and information may lose coherence and consistency. This would undermine the probative value of and of administrative action. The aim of this paper is to present results of design of a coherent Submission Information Package (SIP) from a Records Management System to an Open Archival Information System (OAIS).
