[Dspace-general] PREMIS working group releases final report

[Lavoie,Brian]

OCLC and RLG have announced the release of a comprehensive guide to core
metadata for supporting the long-term preservation of digital materials.

Data Dictionary for Preservation Metadata: Final Report of the PREMIS
Working Group is the product of the foremost international
consensus-building effort directed at preservation metadata.

Ongoing maintenance of the data dictionary and associated XML schemas,
along with a forum for implementors, will be provided by the PREMIS
maintenance activity.

Data Dictionary for Preservation Metadata includes in a single document
the PREMIS working group's final report, the data dictionary, and a
series of examples illustrating use of the data dictionary. The report,
data dictionary, and examples can also be downloaded as three separate
documents.
