Archival metadata for digital cultural heritage conceptual provenance, contextual forensics, and the authority of the found digital object

As our practice in digital cultural heritage work matures, and as we realize the confluence of what might have been separable metadata practices from archives, museums, and libraries - as well as historical societies, personal papers, and novel reinterpretations of all of these in the digital space. However, we can see a benefit from looking across traditions. This paper describes concepts in archival metadata and description and exports them to LIS.
