“…Most of the studies have been focused on MODS because MODS can effectively get around the deficiencies in DC and "offers a richer set of approximately 80 elements which allows a much greater degree of precision" (Gartner, 2008). Dappert and Enders (2008) adopted METS, MODS, and PREMIS (Preservation Metadata Implementation Strategies) to archive electronic journals. They concluded that the three standards are suitable for complex cases like e-journals.…”

UHDL) provides access to collections of digital materials related to the institutional memory of the university and to areas connected to its teaching, research, and cultural missions. Recently, a variety of image archives have been processed and preserved. This article demonstrates the development of preservation metadata strategies at UHDL and the preservation of Metadata Encoding Transmission Standard (METS) records generated from customized "7train" based on Dublin Core (DC) descriptive metadata and NISO Metadata for Images in XML Schema (MIX) technical metadata using two open-source software tools (JHOVE and 7train). We are able to produce complete METS records for digital objects preserved.Ever since the University of Houston Digital Library (UHDL) was founded in 2009 it has been a platform to provide infrastructure for digital collections reflecting the history of the University of Houston, the City of Houston, and the State of Texas, as well as other historically and culturally significant materials related to the University's teaching and research mission.A comprehensive digital library program is being developed that will provide our students, faculty, and the greater community a rich and exciting environment of digital resources and knowledge. The goal of UHDL is also Address correspondence to Mingyu Chen, 83 84 M. Chen and M. Reilly to trigger more activities and collaborations throughout the UH campus, ensuring that research and scholarship materials are collected and preserved in digital form. UHDL considers balancing the need for collecting materials, with access to the materials and the preservation of the materials as the backbone of our efforts.This deeper preservation effort demands greater resources-monetary, staff hours, and technology-than simple collection and access demand, which makes automated processing of metadata imperative. In order to support UHDL's strategic preservation plan the metadata group has been trying to explore a better and more productive way to acquire preservation metadata automatically.This article demonstrates the development of preservation metadata strategies at UHDL and the preservation of Metadata Encoding Transmission Standard (METS) records generated from customized 7train based on Dublin Core (DC) descriptive metadata and NISO Metadata for Images in XML Schema (MIX) technical metadata using two open-source software tools (JHOVE and 7train). Using these tools we are able to produce complete METS records for digital objects preserved automatically. PROBLEM STATEMENTA number of studies have been conducted in combining multiple schema, such as METS, MODS (Metadata Object Description Schema), and MIX, while implementing preservation. Most of the studies have been focused on MODS because MODS can effectively get around the deficiencies in DC and "offers a richer set of approximately 80 elements which allows a much greater degree of precision" (Gartner, 2008).

“…Entre más rico o sofisticado sea el conjunto de metaetiquetas, más facilitará su hallazgo después por los buscadores de la Web, condición que adquiere suma importancia ya que la revista se distribuye por esta vía. En la práctica se observa el uso de los estándares METS -The Metadata Encoding and Transmission Specification-y MODS -The Metadata Object Description Scheme-como sistemas de manejo de metadatos construidos sobre una tradición MARC [Dappert, 2008]. El conjunto mínimo recomendado de metadatos es el de Dublin Core [Apps, 2000].…”

Este documento pretende analizar y establecer de forma integral y práctica todos los conceptos, aspectos y elementos que inciden en el desarrollo e implementación exitosa de una publicación periódica en formato digital –revista científica o e-journal– construida en función de los objetivos básicos de cualquier institución académica dedicada a la investigación y la docencia en el medio mexicano. Parte de esta investigación se estudió teóricamente en la literatura; otra parte se realizó observando una serie de características y atributos visibles en revistas digitales científicas existentes, y finalmente otra parte se desarrolló a través de la selección de una “institución tipo” donde se realizó un estudio de caso analizando al interior de la misma el contexto, los recursos, las necesidades, etcétera. que ayudasen a establecer de forma integral todos los elementos que inciden en el desarrollo e implementación exitosa de un publicación Webde este tipo. Por el mismo contexto de este tipo de instituciones se contem-pla su desarrollo en un formato digital; esto es, bajo el concepto de e-journal, con o sin versión en papel. El estudio contempla los aspectos editoriales, tecnológicos, bibliotecológicos, administrativo-financieros y legales.

“…It has been suggested that no single existing metadata scheme can serve the purpose in archiving; a combination of METS (Metadata Encoding and Transmission standard) PREMIS and MODS (Metadata Object Description Schema) should be used to represent information packages in e-journal archival systems. 25…”

Due to huge advances in information communication technologies (ICTs), there has been an astronomical growth of e-resources-e-journals, e-books, online databases and so on; libraries spend phenomenally on acquisition of these e-resources as these are very popularly used by the students and researchers. Unfortunately, this growth is accompanied by many threats. Digital content (of the e-resources) is fragile and not durable. Its accessibility and use by future generations depends on technology which very rapidly evolves and changes. Hence, ensuring access of e-resources for future generation of users is a big challenge for libraries. The present paper highlights various problems of digital content and elaborates how digital preservation is more demanding and challenging than preserving print copies of journals. It also gives a bird's eye view of various projects initiated for archiving digital content of scholarly journals.
