Incorporating Rights and Preservation Information
into the RUcore Metadata Platform
Grace Agnew
Associate University Librarian for Digital Library Systems
Rutgers University
This presentation will discuss rights and preservation metadata, in the Rutgers RUcore institutional repository, using the Jazz Oral History Project collection to illustrate. The presentation will present a simple rights schema that provides unambiguous rights information for collection managers and end users, as well as preservation information for the complete work, from analog source object to digital master. RUcore's use of PREMIS, including issues with its implementation, will be discussed as well as the preservation services that Rutgers is developing collaboratively with the Fedora repository community.
