NISO Digital Preservation Webinar • February 10, 2010
What is digital preservation?
The process of ensuring that digital
materials are accessible and usable
over the long term with no loss of
authenticity.
• What does it mean to be usable?
• How long is the long term!
• What’s authenticity?
Preservation in practice
• Conceptual framework
• Distributed network of
preservation repositories
• Strategies to counter
obsolescence
• Infrastructure of shared tools and
services
Conceptual Frameworks
• Reference Model for Open Archival Information
Systems (OAIS)
• PLANETS
– conceptual model for preservation planning
– PLATO preservation planning tool
• Process models
– Producer / Archive Interface
Methodology
– InterPARES process models

2. OAIS
• Reference Model for an Open Archival Information System, ISO
14721:2003
• Framework for understanding and applying concepts needed for long-
term preservation of digital information
• OAIS = an organization of people and systems that has accepted the
responsibility to preserve information for a Designated Community.
• Provides a common vocabulary of concepts to facilitate description
and comparison of archives
• Models what an OAIS must do, not how to do it
– Functional Model
– Information Model
Distributed Network of Preservation
Repositories
• Trustworthy repositories
– Trustworthy Repositories Audit and Certification: Criteria and
Checklist (TRAC)
– DRAMBORA (Digital Repository Audit Method Based on Risk
Assessment)
• Preservation Metadata: PREMIS
• Repository to Repository exchange
– Packaging formats: METS, DIDL, ORE, MXF
– Exchange formats: Repository Exchange Package (RXP)
TRAC
• Trustworthy Repository Audit and Certification: Criteria
and Checklist (TRAC)
–Organizational Infrastructure (governance, procedures,
finance...)
–Digital Object Management (ingest, preservation
planning, storage...)
–Technologies, Technical Infrastructure, Security
• Documentation, Transparency, Adequacy, Measurability
• CRL certification program
• Repository Audit and Certification (RAC) ! ISO
standardization by CCSDS under TC20/SC13
Strategies to counter media and format
obsolescence
• Sustainable formats
– Best practices for creation:
Framework of Guidance for Building
Good Digital Collections
– Criteria for evaluation: LC
Sustainability of digital formats
website, KB, TNA, others
– Sustainable formats: PDF/A, SIARD,
WARC, others
•Format description
–Format specific technical metadata: Z39.87 (MIX), AES Core
Audio (draft), TextMD, DocMD
–Format characterization: XCEL and XCDL
Shared Preservation Infrastructure
•Certifying authorities: CRL
•Central registries: Pronom,
UDFR
•Archival storage systems
•Technology watch services
•Tools and testbeds

• Upcoming spring issue of Information Standards Quarterly
• The Preservation of Digital Materials (Library Technology
Reports, 2008)

3. Metadata for Preservation
A Gentle Introduction to PREMIS
Priscilla Caplan, Assistant Director for Digital Library Services,
Florida Center for Library Automation
NISO Digital Preservation Webinar • February 10, 2010
PREMIS
• implementable = most elements can be supplied by program
• preservation metadata = “the information a repository uses to
support the digital preservation process”
• core = what most repositories need to know most of the time
•Data Dictionary drafted by an
international working group sponsored
by OCLC & RLG
• Maintained by an Editorial Committee
and Library of Congress.
• Defines an implementable core set of
preservation metadata
Fixity

fixity
• the quality of not being altered or deleted
• threatened by insecure storage and media degradation
metadata supporting fixity
a message digest (checksum)
• messageDigest
the method used to generate it
• messageDigestAlgorithm

4. viability
• the quality of being readable from media
• threatened by media degradation and media obsolescence
metadata supporting viability
the type of medium used to store the object
• storageMedium
the age of the specific device
the date the object was written to the device
renderability
• the quality of being displayable or otherwise usable
• threatened by format obsolescence
metadata supporting renderability
the file format
• formatDesignation
• formatRegistry
the creating application
• creatingApplicationName
• creationApplicationVersion
• dateCreatedByApplication
technical details specific to the file format (e.g., colorspace for an
image, number of tracks for audio)
• out of scope for PREMIS but can be recorded by extension
hardware and software needed to render
• environment
authenticity
• the quality that the object is what it purports to be; that both
the source and the content are verifiable
metadata supporting authenticity
Digital Provenance, including
– the source of the object
– a history of the custody of the object
– a history of any changes to the object
• PREMIS Event information

5. PREMIS Data Model Sample Data Dictionary entry
PREMIS Maintenance Activity How to use PREMIS
If you are developing, selecting or
implementing a preservation repository:
• use data dictionary as a benchmark – does
your system know this information?
• can you import and export metadata in
standard formats?
If you are creating digital content:
• retain information about the creating
application and environment
• where possible use formats that allow
metadata to be embedded
Thank you!
