Summary:
This seminar offers a non-technical
introduction to the METS (“Metadata Encoding and Transmission Standard”)
standard for digital library metadata. In addition to introducing the standard
itself, the seminar will look at case studies of institutions that have already
implemented it, and will take participants through the decisions involved in
using METS for their digital library projects. Part of the day will look
specifically at the potential of METS for encoding learning
objects.
