DIGITAL PRESERVATION METADATA FOR PRACTITIONERS : IMPLEMENTING PREMIS PDF, EPUB, EBOOK Angela Dappert | 266 pages | 18 Jan 2017 | Springer International Publishing AG | 9783319437613 | English | Cham, Switzerland Digital Preservation Metadata for Practitioners : Implementing PREMIS PDF Book As such, the book effectively bridges the gap between the formal specifications provided in a standard, such as the PREMIS Data Dictionary — a de-facto standard that defines the core metadata required by most preservation repositories — and specific implementations. Skip to content. History The beginnings of a standardized metadata scheme for collections of digital objects can be traced back to , when UC Berkeley and the Digital Library Federation DLF initiated a project to further the concept of digital libraries sharing resources. This chapter presents such challenges and illustrates them with the choices made in the Portico preservation service. Digital preservation metadata profiles vary because of different content types held in the repository, different functions performed on them, different organizational mandates and processes, different policies, different technical platforms, and other reasons. They are using a set of tools, generally open source, to identify, harvest, store, index, make available to end users, and preserve internet content over the long term. I think that to put it simply, the PREMIS Data Dictionary provides a clear guide to what specific information needs to be known about a digital collection and its individual objects in order to best support any digital preservation activities. This is where we can support each other and develop a mutual consensus of best metadata practice for digital preservation sub-domains. By , it had become clear that METS could not only serve as an answer to the interoperability needs associated with sharing digital objects, but that METS is also valuable for preservation purposes. What kind of materials are people looking for? Verlag Springer International Publishing. So how can information professionals try to remedy this situation? It is equally targeted at digital preservation repository managers and metadata analysts who are responsible for digital preservation metadata, as it is at students in Library, Information and Archival Science degree programs or related fields. If you missed my first post on the Digital Preservation Coalitions Advanced Practitioner Training event in Glasgow then you can catch up on the first few days. Show all. People see compliance with the standard as one type of assurance that their implementation satisfies a desirable quality standard. Different standards aim at covering complementary functionality and can be combined in a modular fashion. It does not provide full-fledged implementation solutions, as such solutions can, by definition, only be specific to a given preservation context. The book will greatly benefit beginners and current practitioners alike. Informatiemanagement, met MyLab NL toegangscode. Digital Preservation Metadata for Practitioners. About this book This book begins with an introduction to fundamental issues related to digital preservation metadata before proceeding to in-depth coverage of issues concerning its practical use and implementation. With the Research Libraries Group, we formed a working group of experts and practitioners to develop recommendations and best practices for implementing preservation Digital archiving is SUCh metadata. There are a number of reasons why preservation metadata is important to an organization. The semantic unit entries for each digital files are very specific pieces of information that are important to the preservation process. And finally, an open PREMIS implementation fair was held earlier this month, and the presentation slides are posted here. What digital materials do we preserve? How do we preserve digital materials? Questions Ask a Librarian Contact Us. For administrators and practitioners alike, the information in this book is presented readably, focusing on management issues and best practices. People also requested a deep dive into aspects of the data dictionary, as well as practical how- to-get-started guides. Because of this, one important step in their development is the definition of a logical data model. It is crucial to enabling the people, processes, and technologies involved in preserving digital objects to successfully preserve those objects. This includes risk and functional analysis to define the context-specific metadata requirements; applying best-practice frameworks, such as OAIS, PREMIS, or SPOT to choose and structure the required metadata; deriving a data model for a variety of content types, such as web archives, audio-visual materials, or e-books; determining the associated events, agent, rights, and computing environment information; choosing the best serialization method; combining multiple metadata standards; taking advantage of existing tools; and applying conformance considerations. This chapter discusses how to make different metadata frameworks work together in an institutional ecosystem. Library of Congress Digital Preservation. Highlighting a range of pertinent topics such as electronic resource management, digital preservation, and virtual restoration, this publication is an ideal reference source for digital curators, technology developers, IT professionals, academicians, researchers, and graduate-level students interested in the curation and preservation of digital resources. Inbunden Engelska, McDonough, J. The advanced RMS allows operations on the archival storage to be scheduled, while also taking into account low energy consumption requirements. So why is this important? How can we adapt best practice digital preservation to active datasets? It does not provide full-fledged implementation solutions, as such solutions can, by definition, only be specific to a given preservation context. David Giaretta, Director of the Alliance for Permanent Access, and his contributors explain why the tools and techniques used for preserving rendered objects are inadequate for all these other types of digital objects, and they provide the concepts, techniques and tools that are needed. This has been discussed in many books and articles on digital preservation, so why is there a need for yet one more? The blanks to be filled in under each of these entities are referred to as semantic units , and they were identified by the PREMIS team. Covid restrictions on travel and meetings have reshaped the way we want to exchange information. Digital Preservation Metadata for Practitioners : Implementing PREMIS Writer Why does Digital Preservation matter? The emphasis seems to be on information that directly supports practical, concrete implementability. This includes risk and functional analysis to define the context-specific metadata requirements; applying best-practice frameworks, such as OAIS, PREMIS, or SPOT to choose and structure the required metadata; deriving a data model for a variety of content types, such as web archives, audio-visual materials, or e-books; determining the associated events, agent, rights, and computing environment information; choosing the best serialization method; combining multiple metadata standards; taking advantage of existing tools; and applying conformance considerations. The blanks to be filled in under each of these entities are referred to as semantic units , and they were identified by the PREMIS team. Even though PREMIS is just beginning to be adopted by some institutions, it has had an impact on their overall preservation strategies. Search GO. Extracting disk images i. We look forward on working with you on this. Leadership Peter G Northouse Mixed media product. This service is more advanced with JavaScript available. Preservation metadata is often used an umbrella term for various categories of metadata which all enable ongoing preservation and management of digital objects. People see compliance with the standard as one type of assurance that their implementation satisfies a desirable quality standard. Anybody who needs to manage digital assets in any form with the intent of preserving them for an indefinite period of time will find this book a valuable resource. Dealing with metadata in all shapes and forms is bread and butter for any information professional so it was really good to get to grips with a practical exercise. Libr Technol Rep 44 2 :9 Google Scholar. She is an adjunct professor in NYU's Moving Image Archiving and Preservation Program and consults on metadata issues for various cultural heritage organizations. Technical information about file formats or standard outputs resulting from preservation actions is typically machine-generated; descriptive or cataloguing information, information about archival processes such as accessioning and appraisal, and information about intellectual property and other types of rights must usually be created at some point by the user and entered into software tools via data entry templates or other means. Electronic ISBN Preservation planning can be considered and thought about right from the start of the process. Rebecca Squire Guenther worked in US national libraries for 35 years, primarily on library technology standards related to digital libraries. The results were surprising. Digital Preservation Metadata Systems and Tools. This provides a modular design option supplementing existing infrastructure with additional preservation functionality. Further, it provides practical guidance
