Real-life tales of using PREMIS
Date: Saturday, June 25, 2011
Time: 8-10 a.m.
Location: Morial Convention Center, MCC-Rm 284

Know you should be collecting preservation metadata but don’t know  
where to start? Heard of the PREMIS Data Dictionary for Preservation  
Metadata and want to learn more about it? This session will address  
both of these questions. Rebecca Guenther, Senior Networking &  
Standards Specialist at the
Library of Congress, will provide a brief overview of PREMIS. Two  
PREMIS implementation examples will then be presented. Peter Van  
Garderen, President/Systems Archivist at Artefactual Systems Inc. will  
offer a first-hand account of PREMIS implementation in Archivematica.  
Archivematica is a comprehensive open source digital preservation  
system in compliance with the OAIS functional model. The system uses  
METS, PREMIS, Dublin Core and other best practice metadata standards.  
It is being developed in partnership with City of Vancouver Archives,  
UNESCO Memory of the World, and the University of British Columbia  
Library. Andrew Hart, Head of the Preservation Department at the  
University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, will then share an  
example of implementing PREMIS for the Carolina Digital Repository,  
UNC-Chapel Hill's institutional repository using Fedora and iRODS.

Presenters: Rebecca Guenther, Senior Networking & Standards Specialist  
at the Library of Congress ; Peter Van Garderen , President/Systems  
Archivist at Artefactual Systems Inc. ; Andrew Hart, Head,  
Preservation Department, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
