Notes:

METS/PREMIS Best Practices

Rob - METS/PREMIS Best Practices on Tuesday discussion sessions at DLF.

Format unclear yet, but Rob will be talking to Rebecca to determine how the discussion would happen.

Markus brought up two issues at Board mtg before: 1 . how to use MDTYPE in relation to PREMIS container or individual schemas. Now have a PREMIS value, but should there be other MDTypes that more specifically represent the various PREMIS schemas? Can be a problem in some implementations for parsing, e.g., with XML beans. Markus will send examples to Rob as well as others.

ID value: If using it internally to link to PREMIS, what would be the persistence of the ID internally then? If get ID from DB, can it be guaranteed that the ID will stay? Rick: if you control algorithms, then can keep them persistent? Same mechanism as linking with area element by using ID. Issue to disassemble / assemble METS & PREMIS and use the ID /IDREF link to do so. Is it part of the abstract model of METS to use ID/IDREF? Or a best practice / implementation / profile issue.

Action Item: Those who are using PREMIS & METS, please send examples of same to Rob for use at the DLF discussion.
