Abstract

This half day tutorial will provide participants with a short introduction to the PREMIS Data Dictionary. There after the focus is implementation. It will
give a basic overview of the standard and explore different models of implementation.
The PREMIS Data Dictionary for Preservation Metadata is a specification that provides a key piece of infrastructure for digital preservation activities, playing a vital role in enabling the effective management, discovery, and re-usability of digital information. Preservation metadata provides provenance information, documents preservation activity, identifies technical features, and aids in verifying the authenticity of digital objects. PREMIS is a core set of metadata elements (called “semantic units”) recommended for use in all preservation
repositories regardless of the type of materials archived, the type of institution, and the preservation strategies employed.
