This email initiates the 2 week community review period for three METS
profiles submitted by Francesco Lazzarino of the Florida Digital
Archive on behalf of TIPR (Towards Interoperable Preservation
Repositories).
The TIPR project is
developing and testing a model for repository-to-repository transfer
that includes a shared transfer format (RXP, or Repository eXchange
Package) based on the METS and PREMIS schemas. The three candidate
profiles formalize the the METS requirements for an RXP using version 2
of the METS profile schema. The candidate profiles include:
A
base METS profile extended by the two other profiles
A
profile specifying a METS descriptor outlining the sender, rights, and
representations of the RXP
A
profile specifying the requirements for METS documents describing a
representation of the sender's DIP
Any comments on these profiles should be submitted to the METS list.
July 28 is the target date for the official registration of these
profiles as http://www.loc.gov/standards/mets/profiles/00000032.xml,
http://www.loc.gov/standards/mets/profiles/00000033.xml, and
http://www.loc.gov/standards/mets/profiles/00000034.xml.
