I am a member of the PREMIS Working Group. We would very much like your participation in a survey about museums and digital preservation. Details follow. Deadline is 1 February 2004.
===============================================================
This message is being posted to multiple lists; please excuse the duplication.
Preservation Metadata: Implementation Strategies (PREMIS) is a working
group sponsored by OCLC and RLG. The focus of PREMIS is on the practical
aspects of implementing preservation metadata in digital preservation
systems.
One part of our charge is to develop a core set of preservation
metadata with wide applicability within the digital preservation community.
Another part is to examine alternative strategies for implementing
preservation metadata.
To help us understand what the community is doing, we have sent a survey on
implementation to organizations in the library, academic, museum,
government, and scientific sectors known to be developing, running, or
planning to utilize a digital preservation repository. It is intended to
discover:
a) the different goals and characteristics of digital preservation
repositories,
b) various administrative and technical models for digital preservation
repositories, and
c) how preservation repositories are encoding, storing and managing their
preservation metadata.
Survey results will be used by PREMIS in our analysis of implementation strategies, and will also be published in summarized form. Individual repositories and projects will not be identified without permission. We hope the results will benefit the entire community.
The Implementation Survey is available on the PREMIS website at http://www.oclc.org/research/pmwg/
If your organization is involved in digital preservation and did not receive a survey by email, please download
a copy and return the completed survey no later than 1 February 2004. There are instructions on the website.
Thanks very much,
Priscilla Caplan
