Subject: [dcc-associates] Data Dictionary for Preservation Metadata: PREMIS
Tutorial
***Apologies for cross-posting***
Data Dictionary for Preservation Metadata: PREMIS Tutorial July 17th-18th,
2006 Wolfson Medical Building, University of Glasgow
http://www.dcc.ac.uk/events/premis-2006/
The Digital Curation Centre is pleased to announce that it will be
delivering a two-day tutorial to introduce the PREMIS preservation metadata
data dictionary. This event will be held at the Wolfson Medical Building at
the University of Glasgow on 17th and 18th of July, 2006.
Metadata can play a vital role in enabling the effective management,
discovery, and re-usability of digital information. Preservation metadata
provides provenance information, documents preservation activity, identifies
technical features, and aids in verifying the authenticity of a digital
object. The PREMIS Working Group released its Data Dictionary for
Preservation metadata in June 2005
(http://www.oclc.org/research/projects/pmwg/premis-final.pdf). This is a
core set of metadata elements recommended for use in all preservation
repositories regardless of the type of materials archived and the
preservation strategies employed.
Benefits of Attendance:
This tutorial will be of benefit to individuals and institutions that are
interested in implementing PREMIS metadata for the long-term curation and
preservation of their digital information.
Dates:
This tutorial will be held on Monday July 17th and Tuesday July 18th, 2006.
Format
The tutorial will cover both the PREMIS Data Dictionary and practical
implementation issues. It will provide a walk-through of the data
dictionary on July 17th and focus on XML rendering on July 18th. Both days
will include hands-on exercises. The event will also allow PREMIS
implementers an opportunity to share their experiences via short case
studies.
Tutorial Sessions include:
-Introduction to the PREMIS Object Model -Walk through PREMIS Objects,
Events, Rights and Agents -Implementation issues -XML Schemas for
representing Data Dictionary elements -Real-life examples of implementation
from UK institutions
Venue

Glasgow. Travel information, campus and city maps may be found at
