Conformance with PREMIS

  • Chapter
  • First Online:

Abstract

The full range of benefits of implementing PREMIS only comes when the implementation is well considered and well executed. These benefits pertain both to the implementing organization and the digital preservation community. In order to support organizations, the PREMIS Conformance Statement defines what can be considered a well-executed implementation. This chapter focusses on the 2015 conformance statement, exploring the value of conformance and how best to achieve it. Finally, the chapter explores how conformance could be linked to assertions of best practice and certification.
