Dear Tom,

sorry, it seems I missed your mail earlier.

Please see the answer I wrote to Colin for further information. The link I added there points directly to the specification of cedars. There I also explain why I think PREMIS wouldn't really work for us or rather only with huge modifications.

Thanks a lot!

Kind regards,

Stephanie Kuch
