METS

(Metadata Encoding & Transmission Standard)

  1. The Header — metadata describing the document.
  2. Descriptive — This section may point to external descriptive metadata (e.g., a MARC record or an EAD finding aid), or contain internally embedded descriptive metadata, or both.
  3. Administrative Metadata — This section provides information regarding how the files were created and stored, intellectual property rights, etc.
  4. The file section lists all files containing content which comprise the digital object.
  5. The structural map outlines a hierarchical structure for the object, links elements to content files and related metadata.
  6. The structural links section records the existence of hyperlinks between nodes in the hierarchy outlined in the Structural Map.
  7. A behavior section can be used to associate executable behaviors with content in the METS object.
