Abstract
The Repositories Support Project Briefing Paper on ‘Metadata’ examines how metadata standards can be
used to make it easier to find, use and manage digital objects stored in an institutional repository. Long-term
preservation of these objects can also be handled using metadata standards. This Web Advisory Document
introduces The PREMIS Data Dictionary for Preservation Metadata, v2.02, the current authoritative metadata
standard for digital preservation, and looks at how it can be used within an Institutional Repository.
