Notes

Library of Congress website

  • Document with changes prepared and will be used by Glen for updates
  • These changes are mostly about METS 1 references
  • On the Schema Endorsement page will be a note that this is for historical reasons and there will be no new schema endorsements for METS 2.
  • Sometimes "METS 1"/"METS 2" is used and sometimes "METS version 1"/"METS version 2". Both are interchangeable, but "version" should be consistently spelled (lower case).

iPRES 2025 submission

  • The deadline for Birds of a Feather submissions will be end of July. The call is not out yet and will be in (end of) June.
  • A Birds of a Feather session will be usually an hour long and a discussion with the participants. A short introduction to the topic might be possible.
  • Karin prepared a draft that could be used when the call will be out.
  • The Birds of a Feather session will not be hybrid. Karin will be in New Zealand and Juha might be. Probably no other board members could be there.

METS-schema and METS-guide issues and pull requests

  • Aaron will rename the repository from METS-primer to METS-guide
  • Proofreading is finished/closed
  • There is a new issue for a missing example in StructSec
  • Improvement of the stream example would be nice
  • For the addition of more practical examples we could ask users (maybe at the iPRES)
