Karin Bredenberg Kommunalförbundet Sydarkivera Background (brief history and rationale) PREMIS Introduction Tutorial 2025-11-03 Slide 9 What is digital preservation metadata? ▪Digital preservation metadata = Metadata to ensure long-term accessibility of digital resources ▪Digital objects must be self-descriptive ▪Must be able to describe, manage and discover independently from the systems that were used to create them XML (machine and human readable) ▪Often bundled with the content files in an information package PREMIS Introduction Tutorial 2025-11-03 Slide 16 Viability ▪The object is readable ▪Metadata needed to be known ◦Data carrier metadata - Type of medium - Its preservation characteristics - Age of medium - Date of recording - Usage patterns PREMIS Introduction Tutorial 2025-11-03 Slide 17 Renderability ▪The object can be rendered or executed ▪Metadata needed to be known ◦Format information ◦Rendering information -Software - Hardware - Other dependencies: schemas, style sheets, encodings, etc. ▪Technology dependence PREMIS Introduction Tutorial 2025-11-03 Slide 18 Authenticity ▪Authenticity: The object is what it purports to be ▪Integrity: The object is whole and unimpaired ▪Object transformations ◦Pre-emptive preservation actions - Bit migration - Content migration - Replacing part of the rendering stack ◦Forensic transformation actions PREMIS Introduction Tutorial 2025-11-03 Slide 19 Authenticity ▪Metadata needed to be known ◦Structural metadata (for integrity) ◦Digital signatures ◦Access rights ◦Provenance metadata: - History of all actions performed on the resource (events and dates) - History of custodianship (agents: decision makers, administrators, tools) ◦Significant characteristics ◦Lost characteristics ◦Business rules (policy, strategy) guiding preservation actions PREMIS Introduction Tutorial 2025-11-03 Slide 20 Rights ▪Avoid Rights violations during preservation!!! ▪Metadata needed to be known ◦Rights information for preservation actions during copyright / license period WHAT IS PREMIS?

PREMIS Introduction Tutorial 2025-11-03 Slide 37 De-facto standard for preservation metadata PREMIS = “things that most working preservation repositories are likely to need to know in order to support digital preservation” -- PREMIS Data Dictionary ▪valuable resource to know what you need to capture ▪a method to model the information you need ▪a data model with MANY implementations in different institutions ▪a community of users with good resources Eld Zierau Royal Danish Library OUTLINE OF MAIN ENTITIES THE DATA MODEL & KEY CONCEPTS PREMIS Introduction Tutorial 2025-11-03 Slide 39 The PREMIS Data Model ▪Why have a data model? ◦Organizational convenience (for development and use) ◦But: not a formal entity-relationship model; not sufficient to design databases The PREMIS Data Model is created by the community and experts in digital preservation PREMIS Introduction Tutorial 2025-11-03 Slide 40 identifiers PREMIS - Data model includes: Semantic Units detailed information of entities agentIdentifier agentname … Relationships specifies relations between entities agentType Entities “things” relevant to digital preservation Object Rights Event Agent PREMIS Introduction Tutorial 2025-11-03 Slide 41 Object Event Agent Rights Examples: A PDF file An image within a file A book A book representation It is the objects that you preserve Objects can be intellectual entities, representations or bitstreams (more later) Implementation choices : A repository does NOT have to manage all types of Objects Objects PREMIS Introduction Tutorial 2025-11-03 Slide 48 Data Dictionary (PREMIS 3.0) http://www.loc.gov/standards/premis/v3/premis-3-0-final.pdf A digitization example Object: file Object Event Agent Rights Identifier, fixity, file format, creating application, preservation level etc. Agent (digitizer) Event (digitization) Identifier, type (person), name (Karin Bredenberg) Identifier, type (creation), date/time etc. PREMIS Introduction Tutorial 2025-11-03 Slide 49 Data Dictionary (PREMIS 3.0) http://www.loc.gov/standards/ premis/v3/premis-3-0-final.pdf Data Dictionary (PREMIS 3.0) http://www.loc.gov/standards/premis/v3/premis-3-0-final.pdf A digitization example Object: file Object Event Agent Rights Identifier, fixity, file format, creating application, preservation level etc. Agent (digitizer) Event (digitization) Identifier, type (person), name etc. Identifier, type (creation), date/time etc. PREMIS Introduction Tutorial 2025-11-03 Slide 50 Data Dictionary (PREMIS 3.0) http://www.loc.gov/standards/ premis/v3/premis-3-0-final.pdf PREMIS Introduction Tutorial 2025-11-03 Slide 51 Sample Data Dictionary Entry PREMIS Introduction Tutorial 2025-11-03 Slide 52 Sample Data Dictionary Entry agentIdentifierType agentIdentifierValue agentIdentifier Repeatable (R) Not Repeatable (NR) Mandatory (M) Optional (O) PREMIS Introduction Tutorial 2025-11-03 Slide 53 Repeatable (R) Not Repeatable (NR) Mandatory (M) Optional (O) PREMIS Introduction Tutorial 2025-11-03 Slide 54 Repeatable (R) Not Repeatable (NR) Mandatory (M) Optional (O) PREMIS Introduction Tutorial 2025-11-03 Slide 55 <premis> <object <event> ... </event> <agent> Examplified by XML using XML schema v3.0: http://www.loc.gov/standards/p remis/premis.xsd </object> ... > ... </agent> </premis> XML example AgentIdentifier AgentIdentifierType AgentIdentifierValue ... <rights> ... </rights> PREMIS Introduction Tutorial 2025-11-03 Slide 56 ... </agent> </premis> <premis> <object <event> ... </event> <agent> Examplified by XML using XML schema v3.0: http://www.loc.gov/standards/p remis/premis.xsd </object> ... > XML example AgentIdentifier AgentIdentifierType AgentIdentifierValue ... <rights> ... </rights> Object : file Agent (digitizer) Event (digitization) PREMIS Introduction Tutorial 2025-11-03 Slide 57 </object> ... >...
