We present a Java toolkit for the procedural construction, validation, and marshalling and unmarshalling for METS. METS, the Metadata Encoding & Transmission Standard, is intended to provide a standardized XML encoding for transmission of complex digital library objects between systems. While it provides standard containers and encoding mechanisms for descriptive and administrative metadata, it does not define the content or format of that metadata. However, the content and format of structural metadata is explicitly mandated within the METS specification.
The SWORDAPP PHP client library is a PHP library designed to assist with the
creation of SWORD deposit tools. The client library allows PHP code to easily
make use of the two SWORD functions:
- GETting a Service Document
- POSTing a file into a repository
The library was originally written by Stuart Lewis (stuart@stuartlewis.com) as
part of the JISC funded SWORD2 project. Limited support for the library is
availble via the sword-app-tech email list:
