Thanks all. Two clarifying questions: Work is underway to bring both RDA and BIBFRAME in line with LRM. Where can I learn more about this? I would agree that PREMIS views resources from a very different perspective > — it really concerns itself only with the digital preservation aspects of > your content. The only overlap is in things like premis:IntellectualEntity > and premis:Representation, which are probably the things you would describe > with BIBFRAME. Its the overlap that concerns me. Is it valid for me to describe provenance using PREMIS but then to point to a BIBFRAME entity rather than a PREMIS entity? Joshua Welker Library Systems and Discovery Coordinator James C.
