DESCRIPTION
Presentation given by Gill Hamilton (Systems Librarian, National Library of Scotland) and Tarik Rahman (Repository developer, National Library of Scotland) to colleagues from National Library of Scotland (NLS) and National Archives Scotland (NAS) on the NLS's plans to use METS as a means of ingest and dissemination of digital and other objects in the Library's Fedora repository

METS in detail
• metsHdr ->secondary element• dmdSec ->secondary element• amdSec -> secondary element • fileSec ->primary element• structMap ->primary element• structLink ->secondary element• behaviourSec ->secondary element
<fileSec>
• Usefully groups content files by specifying location and links to pertinent metadata
• <fileGrp>: container element for files sharing something in common
• <file>: element representing a single, typically integral, content file
• Typically <file> elements are referenced from the <structMap>
METS example
<structMap>
• The only required element in METS
• Hierarchically arranges: – content files– parts of files– sequences and/or parallel groups of files into
a coherent whole.
<structMap>• <structMap>: container
element for single, structural arrangement of content
• <div>: a structural division of the content
• <fptr>: points to a single manifestation of the content represented by the parent <div>
• <mptr>: points to content represented by external mets file (to be covered later)
Divs are pages of pdf
Digital Repository Software• A group of services that follow the OAIS
reference model ensuring the long-term storage and preservation of digital objects in a repository.
Digital Repository Software
• Fedora is the repository we ingest to
• Supports METS version 1.1
• Current software supports only Dublin Core descriptive metadata.
• Integration of METS into the workflow has begun
METS + Digital Repository software
METS + Digital Repository software
• A variety of front-ends : some more basic to shield user from METS complexity
• METS File Validation: Use an existing METS toolkit for procedural
construction, validation, marshalling and unmarshalling of METS document
• Factors influencing encoding decisions– For ingest at another institution or into a repository
(DSPACE, Fedora, Greenstone)– For preservation
Software used
• MSSQLServer
• Apache Tomcat
• Java SDK
• Fedora digital repository
• .NET framework
Staff Resources for METS
• Areas of expertise for existing staff, e.g., SW engineers, XML programmers, descriptive cataloging, preservation knowledge
• Skill levels of staff involved in existent or new workflow processes
• What additional or re-training would be needed? For whom? By whom?
Thank you
