ALTOxml Documentation about

ALTO (Analyzed Layout and Text Object)

is an XML Schema that details technical metadata for describing the layout and content of physical text resources, such as pages of a book or a newspaper. It most commonly serves as an extension schema used with the Metadata Encoding and Transmission Schema (METS) Schema. However, ALTO instances can also exist as a standalone document used independently of METS.
