Abstract
One approach for implementing digital preservation metadata involves building the service alongside an existing platform. This provides a modular design option supplementing existing infrastructure with additional preservation functionality. By loosely coupling a PREMIS implementation to the primary repository, each system is able to change over time independently of the other as long as they maintain the linkage between the systems, often times by using unique identifiers. Implementing PREMIS services may be approached in this manner and can supplement existing infrastructure where preservation metadata is either not adequately documented, or where local requirements surpass what is present in available repository infrastructure. This article illustrates this approach with a case study on implementing PREMIS for the particular purpose of managing preservation events.
