Call for Participation: PREMIS Implementation Fair Workshop at iPRES2023

The PREMIS Editorial Committee is excited to announce that iPRES2023 will bring back an installment of the PREMIS Implementation Fair!

The Implementation Fair is a series of workshops which has been held at various iPRES conferences since 2009. It brings together digital preservation practioners & researchers who are already using PREMIS - or are planning to do so and want to share their thoughts and projects or post a question to an audience of PREMIS implementers.

This year's Implementation Fair will be held as a 90-minute on-premise workshop at iPRES2023 in Urbana-Champaign. It will focus on 3 general themes:

  • PREMIS in emulation

While PREMIS has the means to capture preservation metadata for emulation, few real-world implementations are known. How is PREMIS currently used for emulation? What are barriers to not use it?

  • PREMIS in end-to-end systems

A lot of users use PREMIS without knowing it. This is especially true in big graphical user interface heavy end-to-end systems. What does a PREMIS implementation look like under the hood? Where does it work or where does it currently fall short?

  • Implementations of using PREMIS for rights

Do institutions currently use PREMIS to capture rights information about digital objects? If so, how? If not, why not?  Are there cases where users are not sure if PREMIS is a fit for rights or not?

Since we want to engage with as wide of the community as possible, we are having an open call for presentations in addition to three pre-invited talks on the subjects above.

And this is where you come in!

Do you use PREMIS?

Or - do you want to use PREMIS but have a few burning questions that you need feedback on?

Do you have an implementation that you want to present to other likeminded friends of PREMIS?

Is there something you always wanted to ask the PREMIS community?

We would be delighted if you would consider a short presentation at this year's Implementation Fair! Whether you'd like to talk for 3 minutes or for 10 and whehter you want to focus on one of the main strands above or have something that is outside of the scope of the three themes - please get in touch with us via [email protected] by **August 21st**.
