mets format

The mets (Metadata Encoding and Transmission Standard) format is available for books and journal issues (more info about types Document types). The aim of this format is to describe the metadata and the complete structure of the volume (book or journal issue).

The mets format is documented on the Library of Congress website: http://www.loc.gov/standards/mets/.

The list of available records in mets format can be found through OAI: https://metadata.openedition.org/oai?verb=ListIdentifiers&metadataPrefix=mets (use resumptionToken to retrieve the complete list).

In OpenEdition OAI, a mets record is divided into 3 main parts : one mets:structMap, one mets:fileSec and several mets:dmdSec.

1. mets:structMap

The mets:structMap element describes the tree structure of the volume.

mets:div elements are nested to describe the hierarchial organisation of the volume, parts, texts. Each mets:div element is qualified with the following attributes:

  • TYPE: List of document types

  • ORDER: sequence number whitch defines the order of the documents relative to the parent div element.

  • DMDID: refer to the ID of the relevant mets:dmdSec element.

  • LABEL: descriptive label

Each mets:div element refering to a document file have one or several mets:fptr child element, with a FILEID refer to the ID of the relevant mets:file element.

example: https://metadata.openedition.org/oai?verb=GetRecord&identifier=20.500.13089/11qs2&metadataPrefix=mets

 1 <mets:div LABEL="Théâtres d&#039;Orient" TYPE="part" DMDID="MD_OB_momeditions_18766" ID="SM_OB_momeditions_18766" ORDER="4">
 2   <mets:div LABEL="The parodos of the Greek theatres through time: from the Classical to the Roman imperial period" TYPE="chapter" DMDID="MD_OB_momeditions_18771" ID="SM_OB_momeditions_18771" ORDER="1">

 6     <mets:fptr FILEID="F_OB_momeditions_pdf_18771"/>
 7   </mets:div>
 8   <mets:div LABEL="Parodos ou aditus ?" TYPE="chapter" DMDID="MD_OB_momeditions_18781" ID="SM_OB_momeditions_18781" ORDER="2">
 9     <mets:fptr FILEID="F_OB_momeditions_basictei_18781"/>
10     <mets:fptr FILEID="F_OB_momeditions_tei_18781"/>
11     <mets:fptr FILEID="F_OB_momeditions_xhtml_18781"/>
12     <mets:fptr FILEID="F_OB_momeditions_pdf_18781"/>
13   </mets:div>
14   <mets:div LABEL="Formes architecturales et fonctions de l’aditus maximus dans les théâtres du Proche‑Orient romain" TYPE="chapter" DMDID="MD_OB_momeditions_18791" ID="SM_OB_momeditions_18791" ORDER="3">
15     <mets:fptr FILEID="F_OB_momeditions_basictei_18791"/>
16     <mets:fptr FILEID="F_OB_momeditions_tei_18791"/>
17     <mets:fptr FILEID="F_OB_momeditions_xhtml_18791"/>
18     <mets:fptr FILEID="F_OB_momeditions_pdf_18791"/>
19   </mets:div>
20 </mets:div>

2. mets:fileSec

The mets:fileSec (File Section) element is a main element contaning mets:file elements, one for each available format of each document described in the mets:structMap section.

The mets:file element have a child node mets:FLocat with an attribute xlink:href providing the url of the ressource.

Note

mets:structMap/mets:div/mets:fptr/@FILEID match mets:fileSec/mets:fileGrp/mets:file/@ID

example: https://metadata.openedition.org/oai?verb=GetRecord&identifier=20.500.13089/11qs2&metadataPrefix=mets

 1<mets:fileGrp ID="FG_OB_momeditions_18881">
 2  <mets:file ID="F_OB_momeditions_xhtml_18881" MIMETYPE="text/html">
 3    <mets:FLocat LOCTYPE="URL" xlink:href="https://books.openedition.org/momeditions/18881"/>

13  </mets:file>
14</mets:fileGrp>

3. mets:dmdSec

Each mets:div element used in the mets:strucMap is described in a mets:dmdSec (Descriptive Metadata Section) in mods. The metadata provided are the same as the metadata provided in mods format

The mets:dmdSec have an ID attribute matching the DMDID of mets:div elements available in mets:structMap.

Note

mets:structMap/mets:div/@DMDID match mets:mets/mets:dmdSec/@ID

example: https://metadata.openedition.org/oai?verb=GetRecord&identifier=20.500.13089/11qs2&metadataPrefix=mets

29      <mods:abstract xml:lang="fr">Dans l’Ionie d’époque impériale, si certains petits théâtres conservèrent leurs parodos hellénistiques, à portes d’accès à l’orchestra (Priène, Érythrées), les accès au diazôma depuis les parodos  par des portes ouvrant dans les murs de soutènement  tendirent à les concurrencer et l’espace des parodos à rétrécir (Métropolis). Dans les plus grands théâtres, les accès furent reconfigurés. Ceux de Magnésie, Éphèse et Milet adoptèrent un modèle commun, avec des parodos surélevées, donnant désormais accès à l’estrade puis au podium, sans que soient supprimés les accès bas latéraux à l’orchestra. On adopta une solution un peu différente à Smyrne et bien plus encore à Téos, seul théâtre  l’on renonça à des accès latéraux à l’orchestra aussi bien qu’à la scène. Mais jamais des aditus de type latin ne se substituèrent aux parodos, qui, à Priène, furent même entretenues et empruntées bien après la fin des spectacles, jusqu’à l’époque tardo-byzantine, jouissant d’une exceptionnelle longévité.</mods:abstract>
30      <mods:abstract xml:lang="en">In Imperial-period Ionia, although some small theatres kept their Hellenistic parodos, with doors opening onto the orchestra (Priene, Erythrai), access to the diazoma from the parodos  through doors opening in the retaining walls  tended to compete with them and the space of the parodos to shrink (Metropolis). In the largest theatres, the entrances were reconfigured. The theatres of Magnesia, Ephesus and Miletus adopted a common pattern, with raised parodos giving access to the stage and then to the podium, without removing the low side entrances to the orchestra. A slightly different solution was adopted in Smyrna and even more so in Teos, the only theatre where side access to the orchestra as well as to the stage was abandoned. Yet, the Latin-style aditus never replaced the parodos, which in Priene were even maintained and well used even after the end of the performances, right up until the late Byzantine period, enjoying exceptional longevity.</mods:abstract>
