Introduction to METS
Tech Talks Presentation by Mark Phillips, October 16, 2007
Abstract
The Metadata Encoding and Transmission Standard (METS) is an initiative of the Digital Library Federation. Maintained by the Library of Congress, it provides a standard vocabulary and set of data structures for encoding hierarchical digital object content and metadata. METS employs a METS header, a descriptive metadata section, an administrative metadata section, a file section, and a structural map. In this presentation we will learn more about these parts of METS, and discuss how METS may be applicable to digital collections in the UNT Libraries.
