1 Creating METS files in the Oxford Digital Library Richard Gartner

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

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 Directory structure: all data and metadata for a project in a single directory tree All IDs within METS files
