Introduction  

The Oxford Digital Library has developed some introductory training materials on METS, primarily intended for internal use.  This project will develop the existing materials further by making them less institutionally specific. The training materials will be delivered at six locations in the UK. 

Aims and Objectives

• Raise general awareness  of METS and other closely related emerging standards both within the Programme and among the wider community served by JISC
• Provide attendees with sufficient information to assess how METS and related standards might contribute to their institutions’ current and planned digital preservation and asset management activities
• Enable attendees to find out more about METS for themselves, and to prepare them for the METS tutorial workshops
