>Preservation Metadata: Implementation Strategies (PREMIS) is a working
>group sponsored by OCLC and RLG. The focus of PREMIS is on the practical
>aspects of implementing preservation metadata in digital preservation
>systems. One part of our charge is to develop a core set of preservation
>metadata with wide applicability within the digital preservation community.
>Another part is to examine alternative strategies for implementing
>preservation metadata.
>
>To help us understand what the community is doing, we have sent a survey on
>implementation to organizations in the library, academic, museum,
>government, and scientific sectors known to be developing, running, or
>planning to utilize a digital preservation repository. It is intended to
>discover:
>
>a) the different goals and characteristics of digital preservation
>repositories,
>
>b) various administrative and technical models for digital preservation
>repositories, and
>
>c) how preservation repositories are encoding, storing and managing their
>preservation metadata.
>
>Survey results will be used by PREMIS in our analysis of implementation
>strategies, and will also be published in summarized form. Individual
>repositories and projects will not be identified without permission. We
>hope the results will benefit the entire community.
>
>The Implementation Survey is available on the PREMIS website at
>http://www.oclc.org/research/pmwg/. If your organization is involved in
>digital preservation and did not receive a survey by email, please download
>a copy and return the completed survey no later than January 16. There are
>instructions on the website.

>Thanks very much,
