Describing METS Elements[edit]
mets[edit]
Metadata Encoding and Transmission Standard.

dmdSec[edit]
This section records all of the descriptive metadata for all items in the METS object. Multiple dmdSec elements are allowed so that descriptive metadata can be recorded for each separate item within the METS object.
| Name | dmdSec |
| may contain | mdRef mdWrap |
| contained within | mets |
| Attributes | ID (required) GROUPID ADMID CREATED STATUS |
| Obligation | optional |
| Occurrence | Min: 0; Max: unbounded |
| DFG required | Yes |
| eScidoc correspondent | - |
amdSec[edit]
This section records all of the administrative metadata for all items in the METS object (including structural map divs, data files, descriptive metadata sections and adminstrative metadata sections themselves).
| Name | amdSec |
| may contain | techMD rightsMD sourceMD digiprovMD |
| contained within | mets |
| Attributes | ID |
| Obligation | optional |
| Occurrence | Min: 0; Max: unbounded |
| DFG required | Yes |

fileSec[edit]
The content file section records information regarding all of the data files which comprise the digital library object.
| Name | fileSec |
| may contain | fileGrp |
| contained within | mets |
| Attributes | ID |
| Obligation | optional |
| Occurrence | Min: 0; Max: 1 |
| DFG required | Yes |
| eScidoc correspondent | - |
fileGrp[edit]
This element allows for the grouping of content files into sets (all of the master images for a work, all of the images for a particular page, etc.).
| Name | fileGrp |
| may contain | fileGrp file |
| contained within | fileSec fileGrp |
| Attributes | ID USE ADMID |
| Obligation | mandatory |
| Occurrence | Min: 1; Max: unbounded |
| DFG required | - |

structMap[edit]
The structural map is the heart of a METS document, defining the hierarchical arrangement of a primary source document which has been digitized. This hierarchy is encoded as a tree of 'div' elements. Any given 'div' can point to another METS document via the 'mptr' element, or to a single file, to a group of files, or to segments of individual files or groups of files through the 'fptr' and subsidiary elements.
| Name | structMap |
| may contain | div |
| contained within | mets |
| Attributes | ID TYPE LABEL |
| Obligation | mandatory |
| Occurrence | Min: 1; Max: unbounded |
| DFG required | Yes |

structLink[edit]
The Structural Map Linking section allows for the specification of hyperlinks between different components of a METS structure delineated in a structural map.
| Name | structLink |
| may contain | smLink |
| contained within | mets |
| Attributes | ID |
| Obligation | optional |
| Occurrence | Min: 0; Max: 1 |
| DFG required | - |

techMD[edit]
The techMD element provides a wrapper around a generic metadata section, which should contain technical metadata regarding a file or files.
| Name | techMD |
| may contain | mdRef mdWrap |
| contained within | amdSec |
| Attributes | ID (required) GROUPID ADMID CREATED STATUS |
| Obligation | optional |
| Occurrence | Min: 0; Max: unbounded |
| DFG required | No |
| eScidoc correspondent | - |
rightsMD[edit]
The rightsMD element provides a wrapper around a generic metadata section, which should contain IP rights metadata.
| Name | rightsMD |
| may contain | mdRef mdWrap |
| contained within | amdSec |
| Attributes | ID (required) GROUPID ADMID CREATED STATUS |
| Obligation | optional |
| Occurrence | Min: 0; Max: unbounded |
| DFG required | Yes |
| eScidoc correspondent | - |
sourceMD[edit]
The sourceMD element provides a wrapper around a generic metadata section which should contain descriptive or administrative metadata regarding the original source materials used to create the METS object.
| Name | sourceMD |
| may contain | mdRef mdWrap |
| contained within | amdSec |
| Attributes | ID (required) GROUPID ADMID CREATED STATUS |
| Obligation | optional |
| Occurrence | Min: 0; Max: unbounded |
| DFG required | No |

digiprovMD[edit]
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.
| Name | digiprovMD |
| may contain | mdRef mdWrap |
| contained within | amdSec |
| Attributes | ID (required) GROUPID ADMID CREATED STATUS |
| Obligation | optional |
| Occurrence | Min: 0; Max: unbounded |
| DFG required | Yes |
| eScidoc correspondent | - |
file[edit]
The referenced file object
| Name | file |
| may contain | FLocat FContent stream transformFile file |
| contained within | fileGrp file |
| Attributes | ID (required) SEQ OWNERID ADMID DMDID GROUPID USE |
| Obligation | optional |
| Occurrence | Min: 0; Max: unbounded |
| DFG required | Yes |
| eScidoc correspondent | - |
div[edit]
The METS standard represents a document structurally as a series of nested div elements, that is, as a hierarchy (e.g., a book, which is composed of chapters, which are composed of subchapters, which are composed of text).
| Name | div |
| may contain | mptr fptr div |
| contained within | structMap div |
| Attributes | ID ORDER ORDERLABEL ADMID DMDID TYPE CONTENTIDS xlink:label |
| Obligation | optional |
| Occurrence | - |
| DFG required | No |
| eScidoc correspondent | - |
mdWrap[edit]
The mdWrap element is a generic element used throughout the METS schema to allow the encoder to place arbitrary metadata conforming to other standards/schema within a METS document.
MDTYPE attribute can contain the following values:
MARC | MODS | EAD | DC | NISOIMG | LC-AV | VRA | TEIHDR | DDI | FGDC | LOM | PREMIS | PREMIS:OBJECT | PREMIS:AGENT | PREMIS:RIGHTS | PREMIS:EVENT | OTHER
