Digital Preservation Metadata in a Metadata Ecosystem

  • Chapter
  • First Online:

Abstract

This chapter discusses how to make different metadata frameworks work together in an institutional ecosystem. In most contexts, PREMIS is not the only metadata standard implemented in an institution. Different standards aim at covering complementary functionality and can be combined in a modular fashion. For example, core digital preservation metadata need to be complemented with file-format-specific technical metadata standards, or with well-established standards for descriptive metadata that are used for discovery of and access to digital content. Additionally, standards exist for metadata containers which help in combining metadata from various sources in a standardized way and for associating metadata with the digital content. This chapter discusses available options, how to cope with mismatch or overlaps, and how to decide on implementation details.
