Metadata requirements for digital preservation are different and additional to what you may have for your digital content. As a TDR, you will be following the requirements for preservation metadata as per the OAIS Framework and PREMIS (Preservation Metadata Implementation Strategies). Determining what metadata has already been produced or captured for your digital content is an important first step. Gap Analysis (cheatsheet) - a digital preservation gap analysis includes metadata

The integrity features in the 1996 Preserving Digital Information report that were adopted for us in OAIS include:
The 2012 revision of the OAIS Reference Model added Access Rights to the list of integrity features, but otherwise retained the original set that was captured in the 1996 report. |
Check with your organization about what descriptive, administrative, technical, rights, and preservation metadata for your digital content. Use the PAIMAS standard as a guide for negotiating what information the Producer of the content will provide and what the Archives of the digital content needs. Producer-Archives Interface Method Abstract Standard is one of the OAIS family of standards.
There are both automated and manual methods of extracting and creating metadata. Metadata for digital content may be produced in different parts of an organization and some of that metadata may be duplicative. A tool can also create or extract the same metadata as another because of their similar purposes. The COPTR website is a good place to look for and learn about metadata tools such as for metadata extraction.
