 * Monitor Technology
 * colspan="2" style="background-color:#E0FFFF;"|Description
 * Preconditions
 * UC-1 Ingest
 * Trigger
 * No direct trigger. Ongoing tracking.
 * Successful outcome
 * Monitor Technology sends reports, external data standards and technology alerts to Develop Preservation Strategies and Standards
 * Steps
 * 1) Monitor Technology tracks emerging digital technologies (OAIS Page 4-13)
 * 2) Monitor Technology sends external data standards to Develop Preservation Strategies and Standards (OAIS Page 4-14)
 * 3) Monitor Technology creates reports and technology alerts (not explicit; inferred from OAIS Figure 4-6:Preservation Planning Page 4-13)
 * 4) Monitor Technology sends reports and technology alerts to Develop Preservation Strategies and Standards (OAIS Page 4-14)

 * OAIS page 4-13/14 section 4.1.1.6 "The Monitor Technology function is responsible for tracking emerging digital technologies, information standards and computing platforms (i.e., hardware and software) to identify technologies which could cause obsolescence in the archive's computing environment and prevent access to some of the archives current holdings. This function may contain a prototyping capability for better evaluation of emerging technologies and receive prototype requests from Develop Preservation Strategies and Standards and from Develop Package Designs and Migration Plans. This function sends reports, external data standards, prototype results and technology alerts to Develop Preservation Strategies and Standards. It also sends prototype results to Develop Package Designs and Migration Plans."
