PREMIS metadata in Archivematica¶

Archivematica supports the entry of PREMIS rights metadata during transfer or ingest. Rights entered via the GUI interface apply 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.
