The UC San
Diego Libraries, the California Digital Library, the San Diego Supercomputer
Center, and the PREMIS Editorial Committee are sponsoring a tutorial on the
PREMIS Data Dictionary Feb. 11, 2008 at the UC San Diego Geisel Library on the
UCSD campus in La Jolla, CA.
The PREMIS
(Preservation Metadata Implementation Strategies) Working Group was formed in
June 2003 as an international group whose goal was to define a standard set of
implementable, core preservation metadata, with guidelines and recommendations
for management and use. The PREMIS Working Group released its Data
Dictionary for Preservation Metadata in May 2005. This developed into
the first data dictionary for implementing preservation metadata and is now
known as PREMIS.
The PREMIS
data dictionary is the foundation by which Metadata can be generated to play a
vital role in enabling the effective management, discovery, and re-usability of
digital information. Preservation metadata provides provenance information,
documents preservation activity, identifies technical features, and aids in
verifying the authenticity of digital objects. PREMIS is a core set of metadata
elements recommended for use in all preservation repositories regardless of the
type of materials archived and the preservation strategies employed.
This
one day tutorial provides an introduction to PREMIS and its data model, a
walk-through of the Data Dictionary, examples of PREMIS metadata in real
situations, and implementation considerations, particularly using PREMIS with
XML/METS. It includes an implementers' panel and will also provide an
opportunity for participants to share their own implementation issues and
experiences.
The
workshop will be taught by Rebecca Guenther. Rebecca Guenther is
Senior Networking and Standards Specialist in the Network Development and MARC
Standards Office of the Library of Congress. She has worked at LC since 1980 in
various positions and in her current position since 1989. Her current
responsibilities include work on national and international information
standards, primarily in the area of metadata. She is chair of the PREMIS
Editorial Committee and was co-chair of the OCLC/RLG PREMIS Working Group which
developed the PREMIS Data Dictionary.
Specific
benefits of attendance include:
1.
A better understanding of the infrastructure for reliable, sustainable digital
preservation programs
2.
A comprehensive view of information needed to support digital preservation
3.
A beginning knowledge of the common data model for organizing and thinking
about preservation metadata
4.
Illustrative guidance for local implementations of PREMIS for preservation
repositories
5.
An understanding of the standard for exchanging information packages between
repositories (to include metadata to support the preservation process)
6. An appreciation for how PREMIS might be
used: as a basis for metadata definition in developing systems, as
a checklist of metadata needs for existing repositories, or as a standard
for exchange between partners.
