Workshop description:  

The Metadata Encoding Transmission Standard (METS) is an XML schema that
binds complex digital objects and their descriptive and administrative
metadata together. Objects and metadata can reside within the METS
object, either as XML or Base64 encoding, or, the METS object can link
to the digital objects and their metadata. This workshop introduces the
METS standard; discusses the role of METS profiles in defining specific
applications of METS; and outlines the sections of a METS object,
presenting alternative methods for storing or linking to digital objects
and their metadata. For homework, students will build a METS object
using supplied image files and XML metadata records.
