  1. METS Awareness Training METS in the Oxford Digital Library: a case study Richard Gartner

  2. Images Legacy projects ODL Text Multimedia The ODL and its rationale Integrate all digital library projects within a single framework, which means a single metadata framework!

  3. Previous approaches to metadata at Oxford SGML (TEI and plain text files)

  4. Previous approaches to metadata at Oxford SGML (TEI and EAD)

  5. Previous approaches to metadata at Oxford SGML (modified TEI)

  6. Previous approaches to metadata at Oxford Home grown database fields using Allegro

  7. Previous approaches to metadata at Oxford Initially HTML, latterly home-grown XML

  8. What's wrong with this? Multiple interfaces No cross-searching No cross-browsing The hassle of maintaing multiple delivery systems No name authorities, or common subject access No integration with our online catalogue (hybrid library? - forget it!) A headache!

  9. METS in Oxford A single METS profile for all projects, extended if necessary for facets of new projects, but always backwards compatible Uses MODS for descriptive metadata, and home- designed DTD for administrative metadata (will move to MIX sometime) Integrates TEI files (following TEI in Libraries Guidelines) for full-text objects

  10. Creating METS objects Webform interface using php and mySql to create basic METS files, which can then be amended to incorporate full-text etc. Each project allocated a nine-character ID which is used for every object and component, and all METS IDs

  11. IDs in the ODL munahi010 Filenames METS files: munahi010-aaa.xml Image files: munahi010-aaa-0001-3.tif TEI files: munahi010-aaa-TEI.xml All IDs within METS files Directory structure: all data and metadata for a project in a single directory tree

  12. <METS OBJID="munahi010-aab"> <dmdSec ID="munahi010-aab-dmd-0001"> <amdSec ID="munahi010-aab-amd-0001"> <techMD ID="munahi010-aab-tmd-0001-0"> <fileGrp ID="munahi010-aab-fgrp-0002"> <file GROUPID="0" ID="munahi010-aab-0002-0"> <div ID="munahi010-aab-div.1"> <div ID="munahi010-aab-div.1.1">

  15. Delivery • Greenstone, an open-source digital library package is currently used for delivery

  16. Further information

  17. Delivery • Greenstone, an open-source digital library package is currently used for delivery • METS files are converted by XSLT to Greenstone’s archival format: this allows great flexibility in presentation • METS files are also used to delivery Oxford materials to the RLG’s Cultural Materials Alliance
