Controlled vocabularies for use with PREMIS semantic units
Please contribute your controlled vocabularies here.
Listed are PREMIS semantic units that suggest the use of controlled vocabularies. Those that would likely use a locally created list that wouldn't apply generally are not included. Some questions are raised below
Under each there is a starter list often taken from suggested value lists in the PREMIS Data Dictionary. These will be (or have been) used to populate the lists in LC's Authority and Vocabulary Service (http://id.loc.gov).
