Observations
–User-supplied metadata
can be messy and difficult to transform to a standard format
–Expected preservability
status:
•70% HIGH
•27.5% ACCEPTABLE
•2.5% MINIMAL
–Large file collection
generates large METS file
•Requires lots of memory
and processing power
–Parallel metadata
hierarchy vs. single XML file
–PREMIS data elements/model looks very promising for storing preservation status and methodologies
