A lire, notamment, dans la dernière livraison de D-Lib Magazine (vol. 14, n° 3-4, mar.-avr.08): - The Australian METS Profile - A Journey about Metadata (Judith Pearce, David Pearson, Megan Williams and Scott Yeadon, National Library of Australia) In any journey, there's a destination but half the 'fun' is getting there. This article chronicles our journey towards a common way of packaging and exchanging digital content in a future Australian data commons – a national corpus of research resources that can be shared and re-used. Whatever packaging format is used, it has to handle complex content models and work across multiple submission and dissemination scenarios. It has to do this in a way that maintains a history of the chain of custody of objects over time. At the start of our journey we chose METS extended by PREMIS to do this. We learnt a lot during the first two stages that we want to share with those travelling to a similar destination. - Using Open Source Social Software as Digital Library Interface (Erik Mitchell and Kevin Gilbertson, Wake Forest University) This article investigates the use of social software applications in digital library environments. It examines the use of blogging software as an interface to digital library content stored in a separate repository. The article begins with a definition of digital library approaches and features, examines ways in which open source and social software applications can serve to fill digital library roles, and presents a case study of the use of blogging software as a public interface to a project called Digital Forsyth, a grant-funded project involving three institutions in Forsyth County, NC. The article concludes with a review of positive and negative outcomes from this approach and makes recommendations for further research.

Comme indiqué dans l'introduction, une des plus récurrentes demandes adressée au comité éditorial du METS concernait une documentation technique plus complète. Voici donc le draft du document qui deviendra la référence en la matière. Source: Figoblog
