Description

This article details the usage of an XML based infrastructure to record and keep track of the metadata used in persistent archives, mainly by a collaboration with the Nation Archives and Records Administration (NARA). It is the result of the desire to keep the digital archives transferable if the site or format that currently used becomes useless.
