| Implementation Details: | |
| What repository workflows or functions does your PREMIS Metadata support? | PREMIS metadata are encapsulated in a METS file. This METS file is validated by JHOVE that produces a complete set of standardized information. It also generates a submission ingestion package that is being evaluated with the aim to store preservation information in an OAIS repository. |
| What PREMIS data module entities are represented in your implementation? | Object, Agent, Event, Rights |
| How is preservation metadata stored in your repository? | XML |
| What ancillary resources and tools do you use to support your PREMIS implementation? | Controlled Vocabularies PREMIS data dictionary Tools JHOVE + PREMIS in METS Toolbox Extension Schemas XML Registries |
| Is your preservation metadata created internally, imported from external sources, or both? | It is imported from external sources because PREMIS implementation is required in digitization processes and providers must deliver a whole digital object that includes MARC XML, DC (for OAI-PMH purposes), METSRights and PREMIS. Descriptive, technical and preservation metadata are encapsulated in a METS file. |
| Is your preservation metadata used only internally or is it shared with external organizations? | Internally |
