In the archival field, two rather different approaches are provided by
the University of British Columbia project with the US Dept of Defense:
http://www.slais.ubc.ca/users/duranti/
and that the University of Pittsburgh project to define metadata for
"business acceptable communications":
http://www.sis.pitt.edu/~nhprc/
The Dublin Core is much less elaborate than the schemes implied by both
of these projects, and is probably more realistic if evidentiary values
are not a major concern, but for the purposes of the completely intact
preservation of a digital object, these should be looked at.
