Using Metadata Standards in Digital Libraries: implementing METS, MODS, PREMIS and MIX

American Library Association Annual Conference 2007 program sponsored by LITA Standards Interest Group

Presented on June 25, 2007

This session explored how libraries are using emerging standards to manage and provide navigation for digital library objects. A panel of speakers reviewed their digital library implementations involving METS, MODS, PREMIS and MIX, while also providing an introduction with background information on these standards.

The aim of the program was to demonstrate how institutions can provide new methods for display, use and management of digital objects on their websites and in their repositories, using widely available open source XML tools.
