----------------------------------------------
All are invited to participate and provide feedback to the METS
Editorial Board on a new draft version of the METS schema, METS 2.0, at
a workshop being held in London as part of Digital Libraries 2014, an
event organized by the ACM/IEEE Joint Conference on Digital Libraries
(JCDL 2014) and the International Conference on Theory and Practice of
Digital Libraries (TPDL 2014). 
The Metadata Encoding and Transmission Standard (METS) 1.x schema has
an established community of users many of whom are moving toward the use
of newer technologies such as those of the Semantic Web and linked data
for their digital content and metadata. In this workshop, entitled METS
Now, and Then… Discussions of Current and Future Data Models,
participants will develop an understanding of the data models
underlying some canonical uses of the existing METS schema as
illustrated by a panel of experienced METS implementors. The explication
of data models will provide a contextual basis for the description of a
next generation METS (2.0) data model. Participants will be invited to
participate in the refinement of the METS 2.0 data model being developed
by the METS Editorial Board, and discuss options for serialization of
the data model.
The workshop will take place over two half days: Thursday, September 11
(afternoon) and Friday, September 12. For more information and
registration, please visit the Digital Libraries 2014
