Data Dictionary for Preservation Metadata: PREMIS Tutorial
March 7 – 8, 2007
LDP-centre, Stockholm
The LDP-centre is hosting a tutorial on the PREMIS Data Dictionary. 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 May 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.

a walk-through of the Data Dictionary, examples of PREMIS metadata in real
