• an overview of the Data Dictionary, including its assumptions, data model, and technical neutrality;
• a review of some of the projects that have implemented the data dictionary since its release;
• a discussion of some of the implementation choices to be made with PREMIS especially using XML;
• an overview of the maintenance activity and future plans.
