Thanks for these further comments. The Editorial Committee has not
considered making environment a separate entity, but I can raise it for
consideration.

Depending on your implementation, I can imagine that you could indeed
capture specific environment metadata once, as you suggest, and link to
it from the relevant objects. PREMIS doesn't specify how you should
store the metadata within your repository; it just describes what
metadata should be known and, through the schemas, how this metadata can
be expressed in a standard way for exchange or interoperability. 

So, you could store specific environment information (or any other
metadata) just once in your database in whatever form is applicable to
your implementation, link it to the relevant objects and only bring it
together with the rest of the object metadata to output to a PREMIS
schema when you need to. I don't believe there is a requirement to store
the metadata in a PREMIS document.

I expect that this could also apply to the proposed 'policy' entity, so
we would need to further consider if there are advantages to separating
it off.

comments: significantProperties and preservationLevel

If we talk about technical environments, this should be covered by an
advanced (inter)national file format registry. If these environment
information would be within in your archival system, you would have to
put it in every individual object anyhow in case of an exchange with
other archival systems.

You are right about the significantProperties being pretty subjective -
but subjective in context of the policy of an archiving institution! It
should be possible to separate this "subjective" information easily from
the essential object information in case of an exchange with another
archiving institution. E.g. the exact same document could be archived by
a library and by an archive. For the library significant properties may
be totally different and therefore the migration strategy could be
different - although it is the same object.

Best regards,
Tobias
