Hi all,
I think you might be interested in reading:
http://dx.doi.org/10.1045/june2005-bekaert
It describes a research collaboration between the LANL Research Library and
the American Physical Society (APS) aimed at designing and implementing a
robust solution for the accurate transfer of digital assets from the APS
collection to LANL.
It also describes how one can combine W3C XML Signature & Processing and
XML-based digital object formats to guarantee the integrity of the
transferred content and the authenticity of the sender. I have been looking
at MPEG-21 DID in particular; but I guess the core principles are the same
when using METS. (e.g. the fact that you would need XML Signatures for both
the datastreams/METS.files and the wrapper document, the set of transforms
that are needed, etc.).
Cheers,
jeroen

> In our recent METS Editorial Board Meeting, a METS Digital Signature
