Metadata Standards Framework - Preservation Metadata (Revised)

This preservation metadata schema details the data elements needed to support the preservation of digital objects and will form the basis for the design of a database repository and input systems for collecting and storing preservation metadata. It incorporates a number of data elements needed to manage the metadata in addition to metadata relating to the digital object itself. The aim has been to produce a document that will serve as an implementation template while at the same time remaining consistent with standards being developed internationally around preservation metadata.
