Packages of digitised objects: files, structure maps and the metadata that goes with them.

Validate with this schema Try it with the example

About

METS wraps a digital object, such as a scanned book, with its files, its physical and logical structure and descriptive and administrative metadata. Digitisation workflows and preservation systems exchange it.

Good to know

  • Metadata embedded in mdWrap (MODS, Dublin Core, PREMIS) is accepted as is, as the schema allows; validate it separately against its own schema.
  • Links to files are not followed.
  • The example is by xmlvalid.com.

Files

2 files · 136.5 KB

The validator loads all of these with their folder structure, so includes and imports resolve as published.
