Part 2: Digital Preservation of Audio-Visual Content
About the Webinar
Audio-visual resources in digital formats present even more challenges to preservation than do digital text resources. Reformatting information to a common file format can be difficult and may require specialists to ensure it is done with no loss in integrity. While digital text may still be usable if done imperfectly (e.g. skewed but still readable pages), even small errors in digital A/V files could render the material unusable.
This webinar will share the experiences of several projects that are working to ensure that A/V files can be preserved with their full integrity ensured.

How Portable Are the Metadata Standards for Scientific Data?Jian Qin
The one-covers-all approach in current metadata standards for scientific data has serious limitations in keeping up with the ever-growing data. This paper reports the findings from a survey to metadata standards in the scientific data domain and argues for the need for a metadata infrastructure. The survey collected 4400+ unique elements from 16 standards and categorized these elements into 9 categories. Findings from the data included that the highest counts of element occurred in the descriptive category and many of them overlapped with DC elements. This pattern also repeated in the elements co-occurred in different standards. A small number of semantically general elements appeared across the largest numbers of standards while the rest of the element co-occurrences formed a long tail with a wide range of specific semantics. The paper discussed implications of the findings in the context of metadata portability and infrastructure and pointed out that large, complex standards and widely varied naming practices are the major hurdles for building a metadata infrastructure.

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

– Exchange formats: Repository Exchange Package (RXP)
TRAC
• Trustworthy Repository Audit and Certification: Criteria

–Organizational Infrastructure (governance, procedures,
finance...)
–Digital Object Management (ingest, preservation
planning, storage...)
–Technologies, Technical Infrastructure, Security
• Documentation, Transparency, Adequacy, Measurability
• CRL certification program

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
• 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!
