Statistics New Zealand Prototype PREMIS Creation Tool
This tool is a set of programs using XSL and VBScript that takes output from Jhove, the New Zealand Metadata Extractor, and DROID and produces PREMIS object records. It can run on single or multiple files. To create PREMIS output, an XSL stylesheet is run to bring all outputs together. The resulting file consists of a stream of multiple PREMIS object records, which may be split into separate files using a script which splits them. The PREMIS object schema has been slightly modified to allow for keeping information on the source of the values in each element.
Files:
