[Pasig-discuss] Webinar: Preservation Metadata as Linked Data (Feb. 22, 2018, 12-1:30 EST)

Announcement: Preservation Metadata as Linked Data: Revising the PREMIS OWL
Ontology
Webinar, Feb. 22, 2018 12:00-1:30 EST

The PREMIS Data Dictionary for Preservation Metadata consists of a data
model about the entities that are part of the process of preserving our
valuable digital objects and details the information we need to know to
preserve and use them in the future. A supporting XML schema allowed for
wide implementation since the Data Dictionary was first released in 2005.
Users have expressed a need to model it as Linked Data in RDF to provide a
Linked Data-friendly data management function for a preservation
repository, allowing for SPARQL querying.  An OWL ontology was developed
corresponding to the semantic units in version 2.2 and made available in
2013. After the PREMIS Editorial Committee revised the Data Dictionary with
significant modeling changes in version 3, it formed the PREMIS OWL
Ontology Revision Team to revise the ontology. The new ontology
substantially remodeled the previous one, incorporating emerging Linked
Data best practices and connections to other relevant RDF ontologies. The
working group released a draft version in December 2017 and encourages
people in the preservation, metadata and linked data communities to review
and provide comments before it is finalized. To introduce the ontology to
the community as well as help potential reviewers understand the goals,
principles and features of it, the Revision team is conducting a webinar on
Feb. 22, 2018 sponsored by the Library of Congress. There will be time for
questions from attendees.

Attendees are expected to be familiar with the PREMIS Data Dictionary and
the functions of a preservation repository.

The webinar will address the following:
-The use cases considered for using preservation metadata in a Linked Data
context
-The principles that guided the development of the revision and how they
support flexibility
-How it reuses external ontologies (e.g. PROV-O, DC terms) and is
integrated with the preservation vocabularies at
http://id.loc.gov/preservationdescriptions/
-Its robust ways of representing relationships between the main PREMIS
entities (Objects, Events, Agents and Rights) and between different objects
in the repository
-How the community can contribute to the process of finalizing and
implementing it

Presenters include:
Rebecca Guenther, Consultant, Library of Congress
Evelyn McLellan, Artefactual Systems
Bertrand Caron, Bibliothèque nationale de France
Elizabeth Russy-Roke, Emory University
