The film profile supports the ingest of digitised film stored on one or more image and/or audio reels. This profile dictates how the media files (in file formats such as MKV, MOV, JPEG and PDF), their metadata, and the relationships between them, should be expressed and organized.
Its additions lie in the introduction of a separate PREMIS representation to denote the physical carrier(s) (a so-called ‘carrier representation’) and custom film-specific metadata (using a <premis:significantPropertiesExtension> element in the package PREMIS file) to describe physical aspects of this/these carrier(s).
This carrier representation was added to facilitate the description of the physical carrier(s), since the PREMIS metadata schema itself doesn’t offer this possibility directly. Please note that, as a result, the carrier representation as such is not reflected by a representation folder in the representations directory, given that it is used purely for the addition of descriptive metadata about the carrier(s) and does not contain any files itself. Use the relationship sub types has carrier copy and is carrier copy of between the IE and the carrier representation.

Requirements
General
A SIP MUST contain content of exactly one digitised film, consisting of one or more image and/or audio reels.
Each MKV, MOV, or set of scans (either in JPG and/or in PDF) contained in their respective representation directories MUST represent exactly one image or audio reel.
There MUST be exactly one IE present in the SIP, i.e. the digitised film.
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.
Fixity MUST be calculated using the MD5 hashing algorithm, 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".
The value of all //*/@CHECKSUMTYPE attributes in the METS.xml files MUST be set to MD5.
Descriptive metadata about the IE MUST be specified at the package level in the dc+schema.xml file.
Descriptive metadata about the carrier(s) (i.e. the reel(s)) MUST be specified at the package level in the preservation/premis.xml file.
Package METS
The /mets/@TYPE attribute MUST be set to Video – File-based and Physical Media.
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/film.
The mets/dmdSec/mdRef/@MDTYPE attribute MUST be set to OTHER and the mets/dmdSec/mdRef/@OTHERMDTYPE MUST be set to dc+schema.
Package Descriptive Metadata
A descriptive metadata file descriptive/dc+schema.xml describing the IE MUST be present at the package level.
Descriptive metadata in the descriptive/dc+schema.xml MUST be limited to the DCTERMS and SCHEMA elements outlined in the basic profile.
The DCTERMS and SCHEMA metadata in the descriptive/dc+schema.xml file MUST follow the basic profile requirements regarding the use of elements and attributes.
In addition to the elements and requirements outlined in the basic profile, the film profile allows the use of the elements outlined below:
Element
metadata/schema:countryOfOrigin
Name
Country of origin
Description
The country of origin of the film, i.e. where the film was created.
The addition of a separate PREMIS representation for the carrier(s) (i.e. the carrier representation) leads to a number of additional requirements in the package premis.xml file. The section below outlines the high level requirements, while the section Describing a carrier within the carrier representation contains a more detailed discussion of the possibilities offered by the carrier representation.
The following relationships MUST be present between the <premis:object> of the intellectual entity and that of the carrier representation (see also Overview of relevant PREMIS relationships for more information):
A structural <premis:relationship> of type ‘has carrier copy’;
A structural <premis:relationship> of type ‘is carrier copy of’.

Describing a carrier within the carrier representation
The carrier representation is described using the <premis:significantPropertiesExtension> element. A custom schema is defined inside this extension to capture structural and descriptive metadata of the carrier. The schema uses the hasip namespace and is specified below.
The stock type refers to the specific kind of film material used—such as negative, positive, interpositive, or internegative—each designed for a particular stage of image/sound capture, duplication, or projection.
There MUST be a carrier representation in the package premis.xml, reflected by a <premis:object>;
Any descriptive metadata about the physical film’s reel(s) MUST be included as part of the carrier representation <premis:object>;
Each <premis:significantPropertiesExtension> element MUST use the schema described above;
If a <premis:significantPropertiesExtension> element is used, it MUST declare the namespaces of the external metadata schemas using the @xmlns attribute;
Each digitized reel in the SIP MUST be reflected in the carrier representation <premis:object> by using separate <premis:storageMedium> elements;
Each <premis:storageMedium> element MUST contain a <premis:storage> element with the specific carrier type of a reel;
Any events related to the handling of the real-life, physical carrier(s) MUST refer to the carrier representation <premis:object> with a <premis:linkingObjectIdentifier> element (see Adding provenance of representations;
Example 4 below contains an illustration of a simplified carrier representation (preceded by its intellectual entity) and a registration event involving the carrier representation in the package premis.xml file:
