[OS09] Preservation Standards PREMIS & PRONOM (pack)

Preservation Standards PREMIS & PRONOM (pack) Summary ID OS09 Initiative PREMIS | PRONOM Short The PREMIS Data Dictionary for Preservation Metadata is the description international standard for metadata to support the preservation of digital objects and ensure their long-term usability. Developed by an international team of experts, PREMIS is implemented in projects around the world, and support for PREMIS is incorporated into a number of commercial and open-source digital preservation tools and systems. The PREMIS Editorial Committee coordinates revisions and implementation of the standard, which consists of the Data Dictionary, an XML schema, and supporting documentation. PRONOM is a web-based technical registry to support digital preservation services, developed by The National Archives of the United Kingdom. PRONOM was the first and remains, to date, the only operational public format registry in the world, although the "Magic File" repository of the File Command has served this role in a less formal capacity for two decades. Other projects to develop technical registries, including the UK Digital Curation Centre's Representation Information Registry, and the Global Digital Format Registry project at Harvard University, are now in progress Owner Library of Congress (US) | The National Archives (UK) Contact http://www.loc.gov/standards/premis/contact-premis.php | http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/contact/ Type Framework Sub-Type Specification IPR http://www.loc.gov/legal/ | http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/doc/open-government- licence/version/2 Status Operational More details Aggregated to Not Applicable business need Documentation http://www.loc.gov/standards/premis/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PRONOM http://labs.nationalarchives.gov.uk/wordpress/index.php/2011/01/linked- data-and-pronom/ EIRA View Semantic View Building Block Data Standard Reusability Landscape Framework Service Tool
