"The METS schema is a standard for encoding descriptive, administrative, and structural metadata regarding objects within a digital library, expressed using the XML schema language of the World Wide Web Consortium. The standard is maintained in the Network Development and MARC Standards Office of the Library of Congress, and is being developed as an initiative of the Digital Library Federation."[1]
Purpose[edit]
METS is considered as container format to import, store and exchange digital objects within the ViRR:_Virtueller_Raum_Reichsrecht.
Goals of evaluation:
- understand METS
- provide some exemplary ViRR objects and verify them against functional requirements
- search for existing METS tools
The METS structure[edit]
<METS:metsHdr ID="H1" CREATEDATE="2002-05-20T06:32:00" LASTMODDATE="2002-05-22T06:32:00" RECORDSTATUS="A"> <METS:agent/> </METS:metsHdr>
An example METS xml is available from the Fedora homepage.[2]

- The METS header includes some meta-information about the digital object, this may be...
- METS agent container specifies role as well as type ("individual", "organization", "other")
