  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

  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
