Issue 24: Possibly add xsd:anyattribute to the agent/note element

  • Request is to add anyattribute to agent/note; use case is by Karin
  • anyattribute could be added to all elements
  • Probably restricted to certain top level elements to avoid misuse
  • Needs a sub committee to examine implications of adding anyattribute to all elements, could be discussed at the Preservation Data iPRES workshop
  • No objections to add anyattribute (just) to agent/note
  • Tom will do a revision of the schema

Issue 25: Provide clarification of the METSRights schema

  • Archives Portal Europe Foundation wants to do changes to the METSRights schema
  • Originally named author is Nancy (METS board)
  • METSRights is considered part of METS and therefore changes should be change requests to the METS Editorial Board
  • Official statement needed that METSRights is part of METS
  • Leah will look for other affiliated schemas that might be considered part of METS
  • Tom will add statement and schema(s) to GitHub
  • Karin will inform Archives Portal Europe Foundation that an official change request is needed

Philosophical question regarding how to describe the files contained in a zip-file

  • How to describe the content of ZIP files (or in general container files) in METS?
  • Comment by Juha: "ZIP file in fileSec and description of contained folders and files in structMap as div elements (type='dir'/type='file')? You could then link to techMD from div element for detailed information"
  • containerMD could be used as extension schema
  • METS profiles could be used to describe it; there are already several METS profiles for including container files
  • There are different use cases, e. g. WARC files
