The package level is the top level of the meemoo SIP and consists of at least a METS.xml file, a /metadata directory and a /representations directory. It contains information about the IE(s) of the SIP and the SIP as a whole.

The package level may contain a /documentation and a /schemas directory. The former may contain additional information aiding the interpretation of the SIP, while the latter may contain XML Schema Definition (XSD) files of the metadata schemas used in the SIP. These two directories are ignored during ingest and will therefore not be archived.

Example

uuid-e4eb34c0-4fc6-4395-b61c-0671f8e0b04c                     (= root directory)

Requirements

#MSIP1 The root directory MUST contain exactly one METS.xml file. The word METS in the filename MUST be written in all caps as displayed here.
#MSIP2 The root directory MUST have the value of the OBJID attribute in the METS.xml header as its directory name. In the example tree structure above, that means that the OBJID attribute MUST be uuid-e4eb34c0-4fc6-4395-b61c-0671f8e0b04c since that is the name of the root directory. See mets/@OBJID for more details.
#MSIP3 The root directory MUST contain exactly one /metadata directory.
#MSIP4 The root directory MUST contain exactly one /representations directory.
#MSIP5 The root directory MAY contain exactly one /documentation directory.
#MSIP6 The root directory MAY contain exactly one /schemas directory.

METS.xml (file)

Metadata Encoding and Transmission Standard (METS) is a metadata standard for encoding descriptive, administrative and structural metadata. In the case of the meemoo SIP, the METS.xml file’s main purpose is to act as an inventory of the files and directories contained within. Since it is situated at the package-level, it is also known as the package METS file.

It should not be confused with the METS.xml files situated in their respective representation folders. The package METS.xml file does not record the internal structure of the different representations in the /representations directory. It only references the different METS.xml files contained in each representation directory. Each of the METS.xml files at the representation level references its own internal structure.

Elements and internal references

A METS.xml file typically consists of a number of fixed elements, outlined below. Each of these elements is covered in a dedicated subsection in the remainder of this section.

  • <mets> element: the root tag; this element contains a number of attributes with information about the type of SIP and its identification.
  • <metsHdr> element: this tag mainly covers the agents (such as software or the CP) involved with the creation and submission process of the SIP.
  • <dmdSec> element: this tag contains descriptive metadata, either embedded within the tag or with a reference to an external metadata file.
  • <amdSec> element: this tag contains preservation metadata, either embedded within the tag or with a reference to an external metadata file.
  • <fileSec> element: this tag acts as an inventory of the files that comprise the digital object being described in the METS.xml file.
  • <structMap> element: this tag organizes the digital content represented in the <fileSec>, <dmdSec>, and <amdSec> elements into a coherent hierarchical structure. This is important for a correct comprehension and navigation of digital content with complex relationships between the digital objects, such as newspapers.

Some of these elements, or their child elements, are identified with an identifier, contained in the @ID attribute (see the requirements in the sections below). These identifiers must be unique within the SIP.

The <structMap> serves as the entrypoint for locating the metadata, data or manifest files during parsing of the SIP. Therefore, it contains pointers to the @ID identifiers defined in the <fileSec>, <dmdSec>, and <amdSec> sections. An overview of the different elements and references on the package level is given in the following figure.

Internal references between elements in the package METS.xml
Internal references between elements in the METS.xml.

In addition, the <fileGrp> and <file> elements can also reference contents of the <amdSec> and <dmdSec>, however this is optional. A summary of all possible references and their obligation is given in the table below.

<mets> section

This is the root element of the package METS file. It contains a number of XML schema namespaces together with a number of attributes to uniquely identify the package METS file and the type of data it lists. The various requirements are listed in the table below.

<dmdSec> section

The dmdSec element (short for ‘descriptive metadata section’) contains descriptive metadata about the IE(s) in the SIP. Descriptive metadata in the meemoo SIP MUST be contained in dedicated metadata files located in the /metadata/descriptive directory of the package level. This means that the dmdSec MUST use <mdRef> elements to reference the external metadata files.

<amdSec> section

The amdSec element (short for ‘administrative metadata section’) contains preservation metadata about the IE(s) of the SIP and about the SIP as a whole. Preservation data in the meemoo SIP MUST be contained in dedicated metadata files located in the metadata/preservation directory of the package-level. This means that the amdSec MUST use <mdRef> elements, contained in <digiprovMD> elements, to reference the external metadata files.

Example

<!-- ref to the PREMIS metadata about IE(s)/package -->
<amdSec>
  <digiprovMD ID="uuid-4ac13924-fe19-4711-b51f-6b5acc692ec0">

<fileSec> section

The fileSec element (short for ‘file section’) lists all files of the package level in the SIP. It contains references to the representation METS.xml files of the different representations, but does not list other files of those representations. The listing of other representation files (i.e. metadata files and media files) is left to the respective representation METS.xml files.

Example

/metadata (directory)

The /metadata directory contains both descriptive and preservation metadata about the IE(s) at the package level. It also contains preservation metadata about the SIP as a whole.

Requirements

#MSIP151 The /metadata directory MUST contain exactly two subdirectories: /descriptive and /preservation.

/descriptive (directory)

The /descriptive directory contains descriptive metadata about the IE(s) at the package level. This descriptive metadata is stored in different XML files, depending on the number of IE(s) present in the SIP. Examples are mods.xml and dc+schema.xml. These files apply a certain metadata schema, such as DCTERMS or MODS. The concrete requirements of descriptive metadata files and the applied metadata schemas are defined by the content profiles.

/preservation (directory)

The /preservation directory contains preservation metadata about the IE(s) at the package level.

Requirements

#MSIP152 The /preservation directory MUST contain exactly one file: premis.xml.

The premis.xml file at the package-level contains preservation metadata about the IE(s) of the SIP, and about the SIP as a whole. It also contains any additional IDs related to the IE(s) of the SIP. It relies on the Preservation Metadata: Implementation Strategies (PREMIS) standard in order to provide basic preservation information. More detailed preservation information can be described using PREMIS events and PREMIS agents.

If descriptive metadata is available for a given IE, a link is established via a shared ID between the relevant PREMIS object in the premis.xml file and the corresponding descriptive/dc*.xml file. This ID is stored in the <premis:objectIdentifier> element of the relevant PREMIS object and in the <dcterms:identifier> element of the corresponding dc*.xml file in the /descriptive directory.

Describing Intellectual Entities

On the package level, the preservation metadata is used to express

  • what the different IEs are contained in the SIP; and
  • how they relate to each other and to possible representations.

Adding provenance of representations

If desired, a representation’s provenance trail can be added to the preservation metadata using PREMIS events and agents. In most cases, events are used to submit information about the digitization process that created the representations. The use of events might be prohibited or enforced depending on the given content profile.

The possible event types are limited and managed by a controlled list. This list is still under development and will be published in a future release of the specification.
