From Wiki
Compared with physical originals, digital surrogates require and allow for a whole range of additional metadata to be collected. This includes metadata such as technical specifications of an archival digital file and information about its creation and any further digital action taken on it. For CSOs working with human rights material, such technical metadata is important for preserving and maintaining a digital surrogate's credibility and establishing the chain of custody.
