dmdSec

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.

amdSec

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).

fileSec

The content file section records information regarding all of the data files which comprise the digital library object.

fileGrp

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

structMap

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

structLink

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

techMD

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

rightsMD

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

sourceMD

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

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

div

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

mdWrap

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
