digiprovMD: digital provenance metadata. The digiprovMD element provides a wrapper around a generic metadata section, which should contain information regarding the ultimate origin of a digital object and the derivation of its current elements. This includes recording master/derivative relationships between various files which currently represent the object, as well recording any transformations or migrations undergone by files composing the digital object subsequent to the initial digitization of an item or, in the case of born digital materials, the files' creation. In short, digiprovMD should be used to record information to allow both archival/library staff and scholars to understand what modifications have been performed to a digital object during its life cycle in order to judge how those processes might have altered or corrupted the object's ability to accurately represent the original item.
