METS 2.0 Change Requests

Please start the title of Change Requests for version 2.0 of the METS Schema with "CR 2.0" and then a terse description of the request. Note that only schema changes that would NOT be backwards compatible with versions 1.x of the METS schema should be added to this page.

CR 2.0 Change METS attributes to lower case
CR 2.0 Change METS ID attributes to be of type xml:id
CR 2.0 Change ADMID attribute to AMDID
CR 2.0 Use W3C XML Schema 1.1 features to express co-occurrence constraints

Subject to the [schema revision process], these changes will be decided on by the METS Editorial Board at a future board meeting. The meeting will be open to the public.

Proposal requirements: statement of change, description of solution, reasons/use case for the request.

When your proposal is ready, you can mail it to the METS list directly from the wiki (if you are subscribed to the METS list with the same email). Proposals must be sent to the METS list to give the community a chance to give feedback on the change.
