METS Opening Day

Program

The first METS Opening Day will take place at the Library of Congress, Washington, DC on October 27th and 28th.

This event will focus on providing an overview of the METS document format and discussing the basics of implementing digital library systems which use METS. Participants will be given an opportunity to build METS documents from scratch, learn about how other institutions are implementing METS, and discuss technical details of implementing a METS-based digital library infrastructure with other practitioners.

This is the first of several planned Opening Day events. The next is tentatively scheduled for Spring 2004 and will be held on the West Coast of the United States. The third is scheduled for Summer 2004, and will be held in the United Kingdom.
