Metadata Preservation Model

Value and strategy

The value, use and justification components address documenting the administrative, legal, evidentiary, research or historical recognized value of the resource and the justification for preserving it (e.g. documenting the legal mandate of preserving the dataset for 10 years). It also includes geospatial services usage statistics (e.g. documenting the number of times the dataset was visualized in a web map service) using the resource as another means of justifying its importance. Preservation strategy and review dates are also considered, including the eventual decision of discontinuing the preservation of the resource.

The class GP_ValueAndPreservationStrategy includes three different specialization classes: GP_InformationValue, GP_Remove and GP_ReviewPeriod.
