PREMIS Data Dictionary for Preservation Metadata 2.0
The PREMIS Editorial Committee is pleased to announce the release of the
PREMIS Data Dictionary for Preservation Metadata, version 2.0. This
document is a revision of Data Dictionary for Preservation Metadata:
Final report of the PREMIS Working Group, issued in May 2005. The PREMIS
Data Dictionary and its supporting documentation is a comprehensive,
practical resource for implementing preservation metadata in digital
archiving systems. Preservation metadata is defined as information that
preservation repositories need to know to support digital materials over
the long term.
This document is a specification that emphasizes metadata that may be
implemented in a wide range of repositories, supported by guidelines for
creation, management and use, and oriented toward automated workflows.
It is technically neutral in that no assumptions are made about
preservation technologies, strategies, syntaxes, or metadata storage and
management. Members of the PREMIS Editorial Committee revised the
original data dictionary based on comments and experience from
implementers and potential implementers since its release. The Editorial
Committee kept the preservation community informed about issues being
discussed, solicited comments on proposed revisions, and consulted
outside experts where appropriate.
The international Editorial Committee is a part of the PREMIS
Maintenance Activity sponsored by the Library of Congress. The
Maintenance Activity also includes PREMIS tutorials and promotional
activities, and an active PREMIS Implementers Group. See
http://www.loc.gov/standards/premis/.
Major changes in this revision include:
Expanded rights metadata
More extensive significant properties and preservation level information
Mechanism for extensibility for a number of metadata units
The PREMIS Data Dictionary for Preservation Metadata, version 2.0 is
available from: "http://www.loc.gov/premis/v2/premis-2-0.pdf (3.1KB;
requires a PDF reader).
An XML schema to support implementation is currently in draft and is
available at: http://www.loc.gov/standards/premis/schemas.html.
This is an extensive revision of the earlier PREMIS version 1.1 schemas.
After a one month review, the schema will be finalized. Please send
comments about the XML schema by April 24 to Ray Denenberg ([EMAIL PROTECTED]).
