Creating a digital repository at the Swedish National Archives using PREMIS

Submitted: 2008-10-23 12:59:22
Last updated: 2008-10-23 13:00:00
Institution: The National Archives of Sweden
Description: PREMIS is used for processing and storing digital objects in a digital repository. The National Archives is developing a transfer model for digital objects created in our scanning projects. A function is being developed for packaging and storing data about the digital objects in our archival information system ARKIS partly stored as PREMIS-metadata. The application is in use for storing data. An application for exporting PREMIS data as XML will be developed in the future.

Hub and Spoke Architecture for Repository Interoperability and Preservation

Submitted: 2007-11-20 15:46:45
Last updated: 2007-11-20 15:47:56
Institution: Grainger Engineering Library Information Center, University
Description: This projects is designing an architecture and building a toolkit for repository interoperability and preservation. The interoperability is based on a set of METS-profiles developed specifically for this architecture. The METS profiles utilize PREMIS objects for technical metadata and PREMIS events for provenance metadata. The initial release of our tool will support the ingest of our METS packages into the DSpace repository; we anticipate that additional repositories will be supported by subsequent versions of the toolkit with support for Eprints currently under development. The Web Archivists Workbench from OCLC also supports our METS profile as an output format.

Institution: Library of Congress
Description: The National Digital Newspaper Program (NDNP) is a long-term effort to develop an Internet-based, searchable database of all U.S. newspapers with descriptive information and select digitization of historic pages. Supported by NEH, this rich digital resource will be developed and permanently maintained at the Library of Congress. An NEH grant program will fund the contribution of content from, eventually, all U.S. states and territories.

National Snow and Ice Data Center Repository

Submitted: 2006-04-07 11:40:40
Last updated: 2007-04-09 11:04:45
Institution: National Snow and Ice Data Center
Description: The OAIS reference model is one of NSIDC's guiding documents as an archive. Several years ago, we decided to use the OAIS reference model in developing a schema for storing preservation information about our science data sets - we already are NASA DIF and FGDC-compliant in that regard. In the meantime, the PREMIS group came out with their schema. As an experiment, since implementation was still ongoing, we chose to make our schema PREMIS compliant.

Web site notes: None, this is an internal project
Dates: Completion and transfer to operations is expected in April, 2006
Online documentation: http://nsidc.org/data/search/search.html
Documentation notes:  
Tools: We have developed schema extensions to our central data catalog, along with web-based tools for population.

Paradigm

Submitted: 2006-03-24 15:50:57
Last updated: 2007-04-09 11:04:45
Institution: Oxford University Library Services John Rylands Library, University of Manchester
Description: Focussing on the papers of contemporary politicians, the Paradigm project is exploring the issues surrounding the preservation of born-digital personal papers to ensure that they continue to be accessible to the researchers of the future. The project is testing various tools, including Fedora and DSpace, and will develop exemplar strategies and best-practice guidelines that will be of use to any institution which collects, preserves and maintains access to private papers.
Web site: http://www.paradigm.ac.uk/
Web site notes:  
Dates: The project runs until February 2007. We plan to develop metadata profiles for digital object types that are commonly found in personal papers. We are exploring a number of schemes including FoXML, METS and PREMIS.
Online documentation:  
Documentation notes:  
Tools: Testing various tools such as Jhove and the National Library of New Zealand Metadata Extraction Tool. Also using Fedora, which wraps supplied XML metadata and Fedora-generated metadata in its native FoXML but can export this metadata as METS files.
