This report describes the design and implementation of the prototype Digital Preservation Repository created for the Library of Congress NDIIPP project Preserving Digital Public Television. This OAIS-compliant model preservation repository (PR) at NYU was designed as a “content neutral” system to preserve a range of content types from a variety of different projects, with “project specific” processes developed as required. This report describes the processes for creating the Submission Information Packages (SIPs), the structure of Archival Information Packages (AIPs), and how it determined and managed required metadata for each package including the roles of METS, PREMIS, and the emerging descriptive and technical metadata standard PBCore. The Dissemination Information Package (DIP) was not implemented but the report includes discussions by project partners and external organizations on how they envision a future DIP.
This technical report on the development of an OAIS digital repository prototype for broadcast material is particularly useful because of its ‘lessons learned’ style. It provides a good view of the reality and perceptions broadcasters as well as potential digital repository service providers face implementing such service for diverse customers, not only on the technical front (files, formats, etc.) but especially on the metadata management side.
