Attendees

  • Karin Bredenberg
  • Aaron Elkiss
  • Juha Lehtonen
  • Tobias Steinke

Juha provided some small corrections for the white paper. There were some other changes needed as well:

  • incorrect links to METS tutorial and primer
  • extraneous USE="DESCRIPTIVE"
  • include a link to the draft schema

We will also update the draft schema to remove the METS 1.x changelog and to indicate its own status as a METS 2 draft.

METS 2 Feedback

We expect that the overall shape of METS2 is fairly well set at this point. Any feedback we receive with large or fundamental changes should have a corresponding justification. If there is feedback that reveals something fundamental we did not consider, we will take that feedback seriously.

We discussed alternate mechanisms for feedback (e.g. GitHub issues) and while we will keep an eye out for new GitHub issues, we will only advertise for feedback via the mailing list.

We will post the call for feedback on the mailing list, the [https://www.loc.gov/standards/mets/](METS web page) as well as the schema in github.

Aaron will make edits Monday/early next week.

Karin will put draft announcement in a Google Doc, add respond-by date and questions we'd like, will be open for comments until next Friday.

We will aim to post this by the end of November.

Once it's posted we should share on other mailing lists, other people we know that are using METS, etc. PREMIS 3 did not get many comments, so we should not be surprised if METS 2 does not either.

Migration will be difficult for many people, but we don't need to solve all that right away. Migration and uptake will take a long time even after METS2 is released.

We will aim to have feedback by our second meeting next year (early March)

METS 2 Roadmap

We will clean up the draft schema & post on LoC after the feedback period.

We can update the overview & tutorial without too much difficulty. For the primer: do we want to keep in the same format or redo it from scratch? The primer is more work; the tutorial is more straightforward.

Meeting Schedule

  • First meeting: 2023-01-19
  • Due date for METS2 feedback: 2023-03-01
  • Second meeting: 2023-03-09

iPRES 2023

For next year we should start thinking about iPRES already. We should aim for something similar for next iPRES: presentation of final METS 2. What would we have for a paper? A poster or a tutorial might work better.
