PREMIS Implementation Fair Workshop
******
Thursday 5 September 2013, Lisbon, Portugal
As part of iPRES2013, the PREMIS Editorial
Committee is holding the latest in a series of Implementation Fair Workshops.
It is intended to give implementers of the PREMIS Data Dictionary
for Preservation Metadata an opportunity to discuss topics of common interest
and find out about the latest developments of the standard and of projects
using PREMIS. See:
http://ipres2013.ist.utl.pt/ws2-ipres2013-premis-workshop-proposal.pdf
The draft workshop agenda is below.
The PREMIS Editorial Committee is seeking
contributions to the workshop from PREMIS implementers. We are looking
for speakers who would like to present on a topic or project. If
you have implemented PREMIS recently, have changed the way you use PREMIS,
or are doing something novel or innovative with it, we would like to hear
from you; please reply to this email by the end of Monday 22 July.
Thank you,
Pauline Sinclair

Draft Agenda
============
Part 1: A View from the Editorial Committee
13:30-13:45 Introduction
A brief introduction to the workshop.
13:45-14:00: Update on PREMIS activities.
A brief overview of PREMIS activities
since the last PREMIS Implementation Fair in Oct. 2012 will be given, including
changes to the Data Dictionary as part of the development of PREMIS version
3.0.
14:00-14:45: Changes in the PREMIS Data
Model.
The next major version of the PREMIS
Data Dictionary will be released by the end of the year 2013; an update
on the main evolutions of the PREMIS Data Model and Data Dictionary will
be given. Notably, the revised data model will consider Intellectual Entities
differently. Additionally, this new version provides a better way to describe
Environments separately from Objects and allow software and hardware registries
to be linked to. This modeling work, and the new features that it allows,
will be described.
14:45-15:05: Changes for Preservation
Policy Metadata.
The new version of PREMIS also allows
the preservation policy applied to preserved digital objects to be recorded
in more detail by updating the preservationLevel semantic container.
15:05-15:35 PREMIS OWL ontology.
A revised version of the OWL ontology
is to be published in Spring 2013, and all the PREMIS controlled vocabularies
will be published at the same time. The ontology allows users to express
PREMIS using RDF, and to work easily with Linked Open Data, at a time when
those technologies are being used more and more in registries (e.g. UDFR,
PRONOM). Along with the existing PREMIS XML schema, this provides an alternate
PREMIS endorsed serialization format, and can be leveraged to address problems
of distributed preservation metadata across several preservation repositories
or format registries and allow PREMIS metadata to be queried easily.
15:35-16:05 Break
Part 2: A View from the Field
16:05-16:25 Preservation Health Check
Report.
The Open Planets Foundation and OCLC
Research are conducting a pilot that runs through 2013-2014. The activity
involves the National Library of France as a pilot site that provides the
preservation metadata from their operational repository and deposit systems.
The project consists of a quality analysis of the real-life preservation
metadata (METS/PREMIS) used by the pilot site, and intends to demonstrate
the value of preservation metadata in mitigating risks by aligning the
PREMIS Data Dictionary to risk factors. An update will be givenon the current
state of the project with particular emphasis on the initial outcomes.
16:25-18:30 Implementations.
Specific PREMIS implementations will
be reviewed and specific issues encountered by implementers will be discussed.
We are looking for contributions from
implementers. If you would like to present on a topic or project, please
reply to this email.
