Short Paper: Metadata Encoding and Transmission Standard (METS) Version 2
The METS Editorial Board is working on version 2 of the Metadata Encoding & Transmission Standard (METS), work which aims to make METS easier to use and implement. Version 2 simplifies the schema, makes it more consistent, and removes reliance on the outdated XLink standard. It aims to retain a clear path for migration from METS 1 for most use cases. In this paper the METS Editorial Board presents the changes in a short form and invites comments and thoughts on the evolution of METS.
