Case Study Results

This document provides case studies for developing METS (Metadata Encoding and Transmission Standard) metadata for different types of digital collections: 1) A botanical slide collection - The metadata would allow browsing and searching by title, names, subject, date and thumbnail navigation. MODS and MIX would be used for descriptive and administrative metadata, using LC authorities and standards. 2) A collection of online books - The metadata would facilitate browsing by title and author, and navigation of book structure by chapters, pages and thumbnails. 3) A collection of online texts - The metadata would support browsing, searching, full-text search and navigation by table of contents and page numbers. TEI would be used to encode

Case study 3: a collection of online texts


Part First AT MARYGREEN "Yea, many there be that have run out of their wits for women, and become servants for their sakes. Many also have perished, have erred, and sinned, for women.... O ye men, how can it be but women should be strong, seeing they do thus?" -- ESDRAS. I THE schoolmaster was leaving the village, and everybody seemed sorry. The miller at Cresscombe lent him the small white tilted cart and horse to carry his goods to the city of his destination, about twenty miles off, such a vehicle proving of quite sufficient size for the departing teacher's effects. For the schoolhouse had been partly furnished by the managers, and the only cumbersome article possessed by the master, in addition to the packing-case of books, was a cottage piano that he had bought at an auction during the year in which he thought of learning instrumental music. But the enthusiasm having waned he had never acquired any skill in playing, and the purchased article had been a perpetual trouble to him ever since in moving house.

What files will you include in your <fileSec> and how will they be arranged?

Texts

Marked up in TEI (Text Encoding Initiative) Preferably following TEI in Libraries guidelines

TEI file could feasibly be embedded in METS file itself, or otherwise referenced from it

How will you arrange your <structMap>?

Structural map will probably duplicate <div> structure of TEI file Use <area> element within the <structMap> to delineate each meaningful section of the text Alternatively, one could include a single <div> in the structural map for the whole text, and rely on the <div> structure in the TEI file for navigation
