Archival Metadata

Archivists create finding aids, file lists, inventories, registers, catalog records, calendars of correspondence, published repository guides, and file plans. Records managers also capture metadata about their organisation's records in their records systems and related tools. All of these products of description contain recordkeeping metadata - descriptive information about the content, context and form of records. Dave Pearson The Adventures of Digi. LoC-Preservation National Heritage Report. In the Digital Era, Publication Isn’t Preservation. Publication used to mean preservation but it no longer does.

In the Digital Era, Publication Isn’t Preservation

Let me explain. When a print book is published its metadata is literally attached to its content. The author and title, publisher and imprint, price, ISBN and barcode, as well as the size, the shape, the binding are clear, easily referenced at a glance. Part of the complicated process of digitizing books that the Hathi Trust, the Internet Archive, and Google, for example, faced was how to record and connect all of this information to a digital file. For scanned and even more seriously for born-digital e-books, as Digital Book World pointed out earlier this month (Brian O’Leary clearly agrees), the matter is more complex.

First of all, it’s not always readily obvious that the metadata is correct. Digital archivists have a lot to say on this matter, as they have been dealing with the instability of digital files (not to mention evolving file formats, software, storage and hardware issues) for years.
