From: Stanford University Libraries / Academic Information Services Stanford Digital Repository Description: SUL/AIR is using METS as the metadata engine for all digital content destined for the Stanford Digital Repository (SDR). The SDR will support born digital content acquired for the Stanford collections, Stanford library and special collections materials reformattted for purposes of improved access and preservation of source materials, holdings of Highwire Press, and research and coursework related content of Stanford departments and faculty determined to be of permanent value. We are building an extension schema for descriptive metadata based on Dublin Core, but plan to use existing MARC, TEI, EAD, FGDC, and DDI metadata as available. For technical metadata for still images, we plan to use MIX, and extensions to METS for other formats as applicable. Dates: In production spring 2003 Sites: Not yet Documentation: For metadata: http://www-sul.stanford.edu/depts/ts/tsdepts/cat/units/metadata/docs/taskfor ce/SUL_DataDictionary.pdf Tools: None available at this time Contact name & email address: Nancy Hoebelheinrich, [log in to unmask] -----Original Message----- From: Metadata Encoding and Transmission Standard [mailto:[log in to unmask]]On Behalf Of Rick Beaubien Sent: Monday, March 17, 2003 11:49 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [METS] Editorial Board requests brief descriptions of METS implementations The METS Editorial Board would like to assemble and make publicly available a list of both active and prospective METS implementations. To this end we invite institutions and organizations who are implementing METS or planning to implement METS to submit the following information to the METS list in response to this posting: 1) A short description of METS applications both planned and in production. 2) Projected dates of implementation (if not yet in production). 3) URL to any publicly available production or demonstration implementations 4) URL to any available documentation or specifications for the implementations. 5) An indication of whether any METS tools developed as part of the implementations are available to other METS implementors; and if so, under what terms (freeware, licensed software, etc.) 6) Contact name and email address. The Board requests a response by April 11, so that the list can be assembled and mounted by the next Editorial Board meeting in May. I will be following up on this memo within the next couple of days with a description of the METS applications we are working on in the UC Berkeley Library.
