Prototype PREMIS Creation Tool for New Zealand Statistics: Digital Continuity Action Plan

Learn about the creation of a useful tool for generating PREMIS XML files, illustrating the power of XML and simple tools like this. Developed by Euan Cochrane in October 2009, this tool addresses the need for efficient record-keeping in New Zealand. Utilizing various file information and formats, it simplifies the process of creating object records. However, it faces limitations in scalability and lack of a graphical interface.

  1. The Statistics New Zealand Prototype PREMIS creation tool Euan Cochrane PREMIS Fair October 2009 euan.cochrane@archives.govt.nz

  2. key points • the tool is useful • tools like this are relatively simple to create • XML is powerful and simple

  3. New Zealand we are here

  4. National Library of NZ Archives NZ Statistics NZ

  5. Digital Continuity Action Plan http://continuum.archives.govt.nz/digital-continuity-action-plan.html

  6. 1995 Background, why? how? • A need • Few $ • No developer resources, little experience

  7. the tool

  8. the tool JHOVE XML Filter Script DROID XML NLNZ XML custom XSLT “XML” file splitter script individual PREMIS “Object” XML files

  9. the XSLT • matches on the file paths of scanned objects • makes use of (in particular): • the file format info from all tools • the checksums from JHOVE • file extension from NLNZ • environment info from NLNZ • PID and format registry info from DROID

  10. problems/issues • limited by the harvesters • creates ‘object’ (not ‘PREMIS’) records • no GUI (cumbersome) • may not be scalable

  11. uses / benefits • actually useful / implement in your repository • adopt the mappings from the tool outputs • simpler than “Fits” and produces PREMIS XML • illustrates the power of XML

  12. Key points • The tool fulfils a particular need • Tools like this are relatively simple to create • XML is powerful and simple
