We're reviewing our implementation of our digitized books store and I
just wanted to poll to the community:

What do you think is the preferred representation of a digitized book
where the composition is primarily of image-based pages -- a single
large METS document covering all of the file pointers to the various
images and a series of dmdSecs for descriptive information on the book,
the chapters and the pages or a series of METS documents with the
top-level book METS document containing the primary metadata and
structMap but no file pointers and individual chapter and page METS
documents containing corresponding file pointers and descriptive
metadata related to that page or chapter?

Thanks,
Tim
