New: Tools for Preservation Metadata Implementation
From the web page:

This document contains information about tools (e.g. software, scripts, stylesheets) which support the implementation of preservation metadata, particularly as defined in the PREMIS data dictionary. Tools may be categorized as doing one or more of the following. As of this writing (July 2007) not all categories are represented here. Tools listed were not necessarily developed specifically for PREMIS, but may be used for implementation of preservation metadata more generally, and their relationship to PREMIS is stated.

Tools for extracting technical metadata from objects

Tools for converting extracted metadata into the PREMIS XML schema elements

Tools for generating a METS object with appropriate slots for PREMIS metadata (i.e., amdSec with digiProv, techMD, etc.)

Tools for converting Jhove output to PREMIS elements

Tools for recording events and outcomes (e.g. format validation, fixity check, etc.)
Listings include what the tool does, who developed it, when and for what purpose it was developed
