PREMIS
• What is “preservation metadata” referring to?o “It is information that supports and documents the digital
preservation process”. Which includes information such as: Provenance – refers to who has ownership of the digital
object Authenticity – refers to the claim of the digital object Preservation activity – refers to the activities that have been
carried out to preserve the digital object Technical environment – refers to the tasks required to
interpret and use the digital object Rights management – refers the intellectual property rights
that must be declared

PREMIS Data Dictionary• Conventions for each entry in the PREMIS Data Dictionary
o Name of the semantic units : a descriptive name that refers to a piece of information or knowledge
Example: objectIdentifer under the <object>o Semantic components: refers to sub-units held within a container.o Definition: refers to the meaning of the semantic unit.o Rationale: explains why the semantic unit is neededo Data constraint: indicates how the semantic unit should be encoded.
Containers: refers to a xml tag that have no value rather serve to group related semantic units
None: indicates that the semantic unit can be a value of any form Value should be taken from a controlled vocabulary: “PREMIS Data Dictionary does not
specify what this authority list of values should be, and it is assumed that different repositories will use different vocabularies”.
Extension containers: are containers that are designed to give a place for non-PREMIS metadata

applies to (a representation, file, or bitstream).o Applicability: indicates whether the semantic unit applies to the
category of the object.o Example: sample values that the semantic unit may useo Repeatability: indicates that a semantic unit can take multiple valueso Obligation: indicates whether the value of the semantic unit is
mandatory, meaning a repository must know this informationo Creation/Maintenance note: further detail regarding how the values
are created and or updatedo Usages notes: provides information regarding the use of the semantic
unit.

• Intellectual Entity – refer to content that can be describe as a unit (e.g. books, maps, articles)
PREMIS Object Entity
• Objects – refer to units of information in digital form. PREMIS defines different kinds of objects it can an a file, bitstream or representationo File – it is a computer file, such as a pdf, txt or JPEG o Bitstream – refer to data bits within a file that
contain common properties for preservation purposes

PREMIS Object Entity
o Representation – refer to a set of files, that includes structural metadata, required to be identified, stored and maintained in order to assemble a complete rendition of an Intellectual unit. For example, text files and images files of a magazine
are required to form a representation.

PREMIS Object Entity• Sample syntax
<object> </object>• The units of information that can be recorded includes:
o Type of object (file, bitstream, or representation)o A unique identifier for the object under <objectIdentifier>
Stores information such as the type and value. The type refers to the classification of the domain that creates the object identifier. The value of the object identifier.
• For example,<object xsi:type="representation">
<objectIdentifier><objectIdentifierType>FDsys ACP</objectIdentifierType>
<objectIdentifierValue>R0b002ee180b003b0</objectIdentifierValue></objectIdentifier>
</object>
This particular segment states that this object is a representation (that is a set of files, this representation has a unique identifier)

PREMIS Event Entity
• Events – refers to actions that involve an object and an agent known to the systemo Events are critical for maintaining the digital provenance of an
object (helps demonstrates the authenticity of the object)• Examples of Events:
o modifying an documento actions that create new relationships
Object could be related to another object as a result of a particular event, for instance if a program takes file 1 and generates a different version known as file 2
o Actions that check the validity and integrity of the objects (i.e. virus scan)

PREMIS Agent Entity
• Agents – refer to people, organizations, or software associated with events, more specifically preservation events, of an objecto In the data model diagram, there is no arrow from
Agent entity to the Object entity, that is because Agents influence Objects indirectly through Events.

Additional Information On Using premis.xml
• When will premis.xml be used by METS (aip.xml) ?o PREMIS digital object that requires its components to be organized so that the integrity is
preserved, this is known as structural metadata, will use METS to accomplished this.o METS uses a pointer to the metadata that is located outside of the METS document. More
specifically, it uses a xlink:href to indicate the location of such file. o Example code from aip.xml:
