Digital
preservation strategies depend - to
|
|
|
some extent - on
the creation, capture and
|
|
|
maintenance of
suitable metadata:
|
|
|
|
– |
"Preserving
the right metadata is key to preserving
|
|
|
digital
objects" (ERPANET Briefing Paper)
|
|
|
|
– |
"It's all
about metadata" (Kelly Russell, ca. 2000)
|
|
|
| • |
Metadata fulfil
various roles, e.g.:
|
|
|
|
– |
Within a digital
repository, “metadata accompanies
|
|
|
and makes
reference to each digital object and
|
|
|
provides
associated descriptive, structural,
|
|
|
administrative,
rights management, and other kinds
|
|
of information”
(Clifford Lynch, 1999)
