PREMIS

PREMIS, or the metadata">Preservation Metadata: Implementation Strategy, is a framework designed to help organizations manage and preserve digital information over time. It provides guidelines on what types of metadata—data about data—should be collected to ensure that digital objects, like documents, images, or videos, remain accessible and usable in the future. By capturing information about the origin, context, and conditions of the digital content, PREMIS helps institutions like libraries and archives safeguard valuable information against loss or obsolescence, thus maintaining its integrity and usability for future generations.
