Das SBB Zeitungen METS-Profil - Exchange beschreibt das Datenformat für den Austausch von Metadaten für digitale Objekte digitalisierter Zeitungen zwischen der Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin und Dritten, die als Auftragnehmer diese Daten erstellen.
ALTO (Analyzed Layout and Text Object) is a XML Schema that details technical metadata for describing the layout and content of physical text resources, such as pages of a book or a newspaper. It most commonly serves as an extension schema used within the Metadata Encoding and Transmission Schema (METS) administrative metadata section. However, ALTO instances can also exist as a standalone document used independently of METS.
textMD is a XML Schema maintained by the Library of Congress that details technical metadata for text-based digital objects. It allows for detailing properties such as encoding information (quality, platform, software, agent), character information (character set and size, byte order and size, line terminators), languages, fonts, markup information, processing and textual notes, technical requirements for printing and viewing, and page ordering and sequencing.
This site serves as a repository for the NYU Digital Library Team's METS implementation development projects. At present a modest handful of XSLT-based page-turner and search implementations are freely available for use on an "as is" basis. In the pipeline are a java-based SMIL viewer, a java-based application and a perl-based application to extract a METS file from a database using NYU's zeroDB schema.
The Archivists’ Toolkit™, or the AT, is the first open source archival data management system to provide broad, integrated support for the management of archives. It is intended for a wide range of archival repositories. The main goals of the AT are to support archival processing and production of access instruments, promote data standardization, promote efficiency, and lower training costs.
