The PREMIS Editorial Committee is happy to announce the
availablility of a German translation of "Understanding PREMIS".
Priscilla Caplan of the Florida Center for Library Automation wrote the
original document for the Library of Congress. It is a "gentle"
introduction to the PREMIS Data Dictionary for Preservation Metadata, giving an
overview of its scope and goals. "PREMIS verstehen" is available at:

Many thanks to Tobias Beinert of the Bayerische
Staatsbibliothek for providing this translation (and particularly in time for
the PREMIS events at iPres 2010 in Vienna).
