Dear All, is it possible to place technical metadata about charactersets, like the element character_info from the textmd.xsd schema (http://dlib.nyu.edu/METS/textmd.xsd), into the PREMIS element "significantProperties"? I think this method could be the answer to Georg's question. Unfortunately this procedure is only allowed, when the characterset is one of the characteristics that is chosen for long-term preservation. Karsten Huth Zitat von "Rebecca S.
