Cloud Services and the PREMIS standard directions for digital preservation

ABSTRACT

Introduction:

Digital preservation has been one of the concerns of several areas of knowledge, espec ially Information Science, which, through the adoption and effective use of metadata and available metadata standards, supports the treatment of resources in digital environments.

Objective:

The objective of this research is to study the PREMIS metadata standard and its relationship with Cloud Services.

Methodology:

The Systema tic Literature Review was the method that enabled the constructi on of a consolidated theoretical reference of the PREMIS metadata standard relationship for digital preservation in Cloud Services.

Results:

As a result , the discussions, actions, and initiatives found in the international scientific literature that deal with the use of metadata standards in Cloud Service are presented, as well as the cases that address PREMIS, from the perspective of Cloud Services; in a ddition, the study of the relationship o f the seman tic units of the PREMIS Data Dictionary in Clou d Services.

Conclusion:

It is concluded that, in view of the current technological scenario, characterized by the heterogeneity of information resources, the PREMIS Data Dictionary with its semantic units is o f paramount importance for the establishment of digital preservation in Cloud Services.
