Presentation Transcript

  1. Introduction to METS Tracey Stanley

  2. Metadata elements for digital objects • Descriptive (intellectual content) • Administrative (delivery, handling, archiving etc) • Structural (internal structure of the object)

  3. METS is… • Metadata encoding and transmission standard. • A standard framework for holding and exchanging metadata (like a MARC record). • Brings together the different metadata elements in a single document. • Written in XML – interchangeable.

  4. Structure of a METS record • Separate section for each metadata type, linked by identifiers • Metadata can be held in the METS record or referenced by it (if already held elsewhere) • The digital object can also be held in the METS record or referenced.

  5. METS-endorsed schemas • Descriptive metadata: • Dublin core • MODS • MARCXML • Administrative metadata: • Schema for Technical metadata for text (NYU) • Library of Congress AV Schema • MIX • METS schema for rights declaration • Can use other schemas…

  6. METS Profile • Aimed to increase interoperability • XML document which describes how METS is being used in a particular project. • Profile schema • Profiles registered at LC • Cross-mapping – not yet possible.

  7. Issues for MIDESS • Can we look at METS as part of the project? • Will our repositories support it? • Can we set up our repositories in a way that would enable us to use it in the future? • MPEG21 – should we explore further? • IMS CP?
