A new article, "A Checklist and a Case for Documenting PREMIS-METS
Decisions in a METS Profile," is available in the most recent issue of
D-Lib Magazine:
http://www.dlib.org/dlib/september10/vermaaten/09vermaaten.html
The article outlines the benefits of shared metadata practices and proposes
documenting PREMIS-METS decisions in METS profiles as a useful internal
practice and an efficient way of facilitating the development of best
practices. The paper then presents a checklist of 13 key PREMIS-METS issues
that a repository should consider documenting in METS profiles. Each of the
13 issues is illustrated with examples from METS profiles currently
registered with the Library of Congress.
