CITS PREMIS

Content Information Type Specification for Preservation metadata

This is the content information type specification for preservation metadata based upon the standard Preservation Metadata Implementation Strategies (PREMIS) found at https://www.loc.gov/standards/premis/. The CITS specification has been extended upon and contains the information previously found in CSIP, SIP, AIP, and DIP.

The specification itself is only a starting point giving the minimum needed since preservation planning and the implementation of PREMIS will differ in all available solutions.

The guideline for CSIP is also giving guidance to CITS PREMIS.
