Abstract
This chapter gives an end-to-end overview of the steps involved in determining what information one needs to keep, together with one’s digital assets, so that they can be understood and used in the long term. In other words, what digital preservation metadata is required, and how does one decide this? This includes risk and functional analysis to define the context-specific metadata requirements; applying best-practice frameworks, such as OAIS, PREMIS, or SPOT to choose and structure the required metadata; deriving a data model for a variety of content types, such as web archives, audio-visual materials, or e-books; determining the associated events, agent, rights, and computing environment information; choosing the best serialization method; combining multiple metadata standards; taking advantage of existing tools; and applying conformance considerations. The narrative links to the chapters in the book Digital Preservation Metadata for Practitioners-Implementing PREMIS.
