Cloud Services and the PREMIS pattern directions for digital preservation

Abstract

Introduction: Digital preservation has been one of the concerns of several areas of knowledge, especially Information Science, which, through the adoption and effective use of metadata and available metadata patterns, 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 Systematic Literature Review was the method that enabled the construction of a consolidated theoretical reference of the PREMIS metadata patterns 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 patterns in Cloud Service are presented, as well as the cases that address PREMIS, from the perspective of Cloud Services; in addition, the study of the relationship of the semantic units of the PREMIS Data Dictionary in Cloud 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 of paramount importance for the establishment of digital preservation in Cloud Services.
