PREMIS metadata in Archivematica¶

Archivematica supports PREMIS metadata and currently implements version 3. It captures extensive technical metadata about Objects and records actions (known as Events) taken on Objects by Agents. It also supports the addition of PREMIS Rights metadata. This page discusses how PREMIS is implemented in the AIP METS file.

PREMIS Events metadata¶

PREMIS Events will be recorded in separate digiprovMD sections in the METS (see METS in Archivematica for more information). PREMIS Events recorded in the METS will contain metadata for most of the following semantic units and semantic components (only if applicable):

eventIdentifier - eventIdentifierType
eventIdentifier - eventIdentifierValue
eventType
eventDateTime
eventDetail
eventOutcomeInformation - eventOutcome
eventOutcomeDetail - eventOutcomeDetailNote
linkingAgentIdentifier - linkingAgentIdentifierType
linkingAgentIdentifier - linkingAgentIdentifierValue

For more information on semantic units and semantic components in PREMIS, please see the Data Dictionary. Below is an example of a PREMIS Event for file format identification.

            </premis:linkingAgentIdentifier>

Note that there will be three Agents per Event listed under the linkingAgentIdentifier semantic unit. This means there will also be three linkingAgentIdentifierType and three linkingAgentIdentifierValue semantic components. Each Agent applied to a PREMIS event will also have its own digiprovMD section in the METS (see PREMIS Agent Metadata).

PREMIS Events list¶

There are PREMIS Events that apply to original files and some that apply to normalized files. Both are listed below, followed by a list of Events that occur when certain microservices run in Archivematica.

Skip to:

Default events for original files
Normalized files
Name cleanup
Format identification
Extract packages
OCR transcription
AIP reingest
Sending transfers to backlog

Default events for original files¶

The following microservices are run for all original objects ingested into Archivematica, including any submission documentation:

ingestion
message digest calculation
virus check

If a bag or a transfer with checksum manifests is ingested, then each file will include:

fixity check

Normalized files¶

The following microservices are run for all normalized files:

creation
message digest calculation
validation (if there is a validation tool available for the identified format)

Note that for original files with a normalized derivative, a normalization PREMIS Event will be added.

PREMIS Agent metadata¶

PREMIS Agents that are linked to a PREMIS Event will also be placed in its own digiprovMD section. The default semantic units for each agent are:

agentIdentifier
agentName
agentType

There are three types of Agents associated with every PREMIS Event. They will be listed under agentType as the following three options (METS XML examples included):

PREMIS Rights metadata¶

PREMIS rights metadata can be added during transfer or ingest; it can be entered via the GUI interface to be applied to the entirety of the SIP or transfer. Rights can also be entered at the object level by describing them in a rights.csv file and using the Import metadata feature.

Below, the entry template is described as it appears for each rights basis, followed by acts granted/restricted.
