Descriptive MetadataDescriptive Metadatao When will mods.xml be used by METS (aip.xml) ?
METS will use the mods.xml to encode descriptive metadata.• Information that describes, classifies, and characterizes the identity of the
content.o How will METS (aip.xml) access MODS (mods.xml)?
METS uses a pointer to the metadata that is located outside of the METS document. More specifically, it uses a xlink:href to indicate the location of mods file.
o For example:<!-- MODS object --> <mets:dmdSec ID="DMD_OTHER">
<mets:mdRef ID="D09002ee180b004da" MDTYPE="MODS" MIMETYPE="text/xml" LOCTYPE="URL" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xlink:href="file:/mods.xml" />
