Editor’s Draft

Profile: Bibliographic

The bibliographic profile supports the ingest of digitised written works consisting of multiple bounded or unbounded pages predominately containing handwritten or printed text, such as books, magazines, manuscripts, letters, notated music or newspapers. They are often described and maintained by libraries. This profile dictates how the media files (in formats such as TIFF, ALTO XML and PDF), their metadata, and the relationships between them, should be expressed and organized. It applies the MODS XML metadata schema for descriptive metadata.

Requirements

General

• A SIP MUST contain content of exactly one written work of type
  • newspaper edition;
  • book;
  • letter;
  • notated music;
  • magazine issue; or
  • manuscript.
• The content MUST be digitised per page, i.e. each TIFF and/or ALTO XML file contained in their respective representation directories MUST represent exactly one page.
  • An exception to this requirement MAY be made with regards to a PDF file: it is RECOMMENDED to only use a single PDF that contains the entire contents (i.e. all pages are present in one single PDF file).
• There MUST be exactly one IE present in the SIP, i.e. the written work.
• There MUST be preservation metadata at the package level in the preservation/premis.xml file.
• There MUST be preservation metadata at the representation level in the respective preservation/premis.xml files.
• Preservation metadata in the SIP MUST be limited to the PREMIS metadata schema.
• Only the MD5 hashing algorithm is allowed to compute the fixity, thus:
  • The value of element premis:premis/premis:object[@xsi:type="premis:file"]/premis:objectCharacteristics/premis:fixity/premis:messageDigestAlgorithm MUST be set to MD5.
  • The value of attribute premis:premis/premis:object[@xsi:type="premis:file"]/premis:objectCharacteristics/premis:fixity/premis:messageDigestAlgorithm/@valueURI MUST be set to "http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/preservation/cryptographicHashFunctions/md5".
• There MAY be descriptive metadata at the representation level (e.g. information about the representations, such as a title or a description).

Package METS

• The csip:CONTENTINFORMATIONTYPE attribute MUST be set to OTHER and the csip:OTHERCONTENTINFORMATIONTYPE attribute MUST be set to https://data.hetarchief.be/id/sip/2.1/bibliographic.
• The mets/dmdSec/mdRef/@MDTYPE attribute MUST be set to MODS.

Package Descriptive Metadata

• A descriptive/mods.xml descriptive metadata file MUST be present at the package level.
• The descriptive/mods.xml file MUST follow the MODS metadata schema (v3.7).
• The descriptive/mods.xml file MUST contain a shared identifier with the preservation/premis.xml to indicate which PREMIS object is being described in the descriptive/mods.xml file.
• The MODS metadata in descriptive/mods.xml MUST be limited to the elements and attributes outlined below.

General information

The main identifiers

Information on the main title

Information on alternative titles

Information on language

General description of the written work

Information on people or organizations related to the written work

Information on the written work’s origin

Information on the written work’s physical characteristics

Information on the work series

Package Preservation Metadata

• A preservation metadata file preservation/premis.xml MUST be present at the package level.
• The preservation/premis.xml file MUST follow the PREMIS metadata schema (v3.0.).
• If the SIP contains ALTO XML files, the preservation/premis.xml file MUST contain a PREMIS event of type transcription to link the TIFF and ALTO XML files. With this event, the representation containing the TIFF files MUST receive the PREMIS linking object role source and the representation containing the ALTO XML files MUST receive the PREMIS linking object role outcome. See the section about PREMIS events and example 1 below for more information about the structure of PREMIS events.
• If the SIP contains a PDF file (which SHOULD contain all pages of the written work, cf. supra, the preservation/premis.xml file MUST contain a PREMIS event of type creation to link the TIFF and ALTO XML files to the PDF file. With this event, the two representations containing the TIFF and the ALTO XML files MUST receive the PREMIS linking object role source and the representation containing the PDF file MUST receive the PREMIS linking object role outcome. See the section about PREMIS events and example 1 below for more information about the structure of PREMIS events.

Representation METS

• If the files in a representation each correspond with a single page (e.g. the TIFF and ALTO XML files, since each of these files MUST correspond to a single page), the corresponding <div/> elements in the structural map MUST contain an @ORDER attribute that indicates the sequence of the pages. Additionally, each <div/> element that corresponds to a file representing a page MUST have a @TYPE attribute that is set to page. See example 3 below for more information.

Representation Preservation Metadata

• If ALTO XML files are present in the SIP, the preservation/premis.xml files of the representation containing the TIFF files and of the representation containing the ALTO XML files MUST contain a PREMIS relationship to establish a link between the two.
  • In the case of the representation with the TIFF files, this PREMIS relationship MUST be of type derivation and of subtype is source of. The @valueURI attribute of the <premis:relationshipType> element MUST be set to http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/preservation/relationshipType/der. The @valueURI attribute of the <premis:relationshipSubType> element MUST be set to http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/preservation/relationshipSubType/iso. Finally, a <premis:relatedEventIdentifier/> element MUST be present that refers to the relevant event (in this case a transcription event) defined in the preservation/premis.xml file of the package level. This is shown in example 4 below.
  • In the case of the representation with the ALTO XML files, this PREMIS relationship MUST be of type derivation and of subtype has source. The @valueURI attribute of the <premis:relationshipType> element MUST be set to http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/preservation/relationshipType/der. The @valueURI attribute of the <premis:relationshipSubType> element MUST be set to http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/preservation/relationshipSubType/hss. Finally, a <premis:relatedEventIdentifier/> element MUST be present that refers to the relevant event (in this case a transcription event) defined in the preservation/premis.xml file of the package level. This is shown in example 5 below.
• If a PDF file is present in the SIP, the preservation/premis.xml files of all three representations (i.e. of the TIFF files, of the ALTO XML file and of the PDF file) MUST contain a PREMIS relationship to establish a link between the three.
  • In the case of the representations with the TIFF and ALTO XML files, this PREMIS relationship MUST be of type derivation and of subtype is source of. The @valueURI attribute of the <premis:relationshipType> element MUST be set to http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/preservation/relationshipType/der. The @valueURI attribute of the <premis:relationshipSubType> element MUST be set to http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/preservation/relationshipSubType/iso. Finally, a <premis:relatedEventIdentifier/> element MUST be present that refers to the relevant event (in this case a transcription event) defined in the preservation/premis.xml file of the package level. This is similar to example 4 shown below.
  • In the case of the representation with the PDF file, this PREMIS relationship MUST be of type derivation and of subtype has source. The @valueURI attribute of the <premis:relationshipType> element MUST be set to http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/preservation/relationshipType/der. The @valueURI attribute of the <premis:relationshipSubType> element MUST be set to http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/preservation/relationshipSubType/hss. Finally, a <premis:relatedEventIdentifier/> element MUST be present that refers to the relevant event (in this case a transcription event) defined in the preservation/premis.xml file of the package level. This is similar to example 5 below, the difference being that the relationship will mostly entail multiple <premis:relatedObjectIdentifier/> elements since the PDF is derived from all TIFF and ALTO XML files together.
