AIP
SIPs to AIP

This is where the Libraries’ expertise comes in.

First SIP is for descriptive, technical and rights metadata about the TV show.
Second SIP describes the transcript and is much simpler (technical metadata plus UCTV program number).

The SIPs for the metadata are consolidated in an AIP expressed as a METS document. The METS wrapper utilizes standard data formats.  The descriptive metadata is expressed in the  MODS schema, the technical metadata in the PREMIS schema, and the rights metadata in the  MetsRIGHTS schema.

The METS wrapper properly relates the metadata and content files and indicates which file is the original master, which file contains the broadcast version and which file contains the web (streaming) version.  For the long view, the METS wrapper allows the content files and their metadata to be transmitted to other repositories and to interoperate more easily with other collection materials should that be desirable.

The SIP from UCTV can be expressed in the basic METS schema if that is desirable for the digital repository.  In that case, the CwH SIP would have to be integrated into the METS as a PREMIS technical metadata record for the digital transcript.
