The ODL and its rationale
Integrate all digital library projects within a single framework, which means a single metadata framework!

Previous approaches to metadata at Oxford
SGML (TEI and plain text files)

Previous approaches to metadata at Oxford
SGML (TEI and EAD)

Previous approaches to metadata at Oxford
SGML (modified TEI)

Previous approaches to metadata at Oxford
Home grown database fields using Allegro

Previous approaches to metadata at OxfordInitially HTML, latterly home-grown XML

What's wrong with this?
Multiple interfaces No cross-searching No cross-browsing The hassle of maintaing multiple delivery systems No name authorities, or common subject access No integration with our online catalogue (hybrid library? - forget it!) A headache!

METS in Oxford
A single METS profile for all projects, extended if necessary for facets of new projects, but always backwards compatible
Uses MODS for descriptive metadata, and home- designed DTD for administrative metadata (will move to MIX sometime) Integrates TEI files (following TEI in Libraries Guidelines) for full-text objects

Creating METS objects
Webform interface using php and mySql to create basic METS files, which can then be amended to incorporate full-text etc.
Each project allocated a nine-character ID which is used for every object and component, and all METS IDs

IDs in the ODL
munahi010
Filenames
METS files: munahi010-aaa.xmlImage files: munahi010-aaa-0001-3.tif
TEI files: munahi010-aaa-TEI.xml
Directory structure: all data and metadata for a project in a single directory tree
All IDs within METS files

Delivery
● Greenstone, an open-source digital library package is currently used for delivery

Delivery
● Greenstone, an open-source digital library package is currently used for delivery
● METS files are converted by XSLT to Greenstone’s archival format: this allows great flexibility in presentation
● METS files are also used to delivery Oxford materials to the RLG’s Cultural Materials Alliance
