Development od the PREMIS standard and the possibilities of its further application in NDL standards
Vol.11,No.2(2019)
Purpose – This article presents the metadata standard PREMIS, which is used for storage of archival metadata, history, structure and uses in other institutions are discussed. Main focus is on implementation of the standard within the standards of the National Digital Library of the Czech Republic (NDL). Its goal is to point out PREMIS´s advantages and show directions, in which the NDL standards could be upgraded in the field of preservation metadata. It can be classified as a case study.
Design/Methodology/Approach – Regarding used methodology, this article is an analysis. The history of PREMIS standard, its parts and modifications are described in the opening part. Next, it discusses specific details, used elements and controlled vocabularies applied to the NDL standard. It also mentions different PREMIS applications in the foreign institutions. The last section deals with the future use of PREMIS within NDL and possible implementations of its other functions – which is a good way to indicate further direction of NDL.
Results – The analysis has shown implementation of the standard in some institutions, some of them are considered in the next development of the national standard. For example, the possibility of the description on the representation level and the description of the intellectual entity as a long-term preservation object; or adding the extension element to Object description for storing the most complete technical metadata possible.
Originality/Value – The benefit of the article is a comprehensive overview of the use of international standard PREMIS in national standard with a hint of future development. Together with it some decisions about the changes are discussed.
