| Semantic unit | 1.11.3 environmentRegistryRole |
|---|
| Definition | The purpose or expected use of the external registry. |
| Applicability | Intellectual Entity of type environment |
| Obligation | Optional |
| Repeatability | Not repeatable |
| Rationale | Registries could be used for different purposes or may not provide an identical match to the Intellectual Entity described in PREMIS. For example, one registry may only provide skeleton records that are sufficient to allow an environment to be formally identified (or might only describe a family of environments while the PREMIS object describes a more specific version within that family). An alternative registry may provide an exact match and provide much more detailed information needed to actually use the environment. |
| Data constraint | Value should be taken from a controlled vocabulary. A controlled vocabulary is available at: |
