Metadata Encoding and Transmission Standard Working Group

The Metadata Encoding and Transmission Standard (METS) Working Group is a group that develops a standardized way to describe and share digital content, such as documents, images, and videos. Their goal is to create a common format that allows libraries, archives, and museums to organize, encode, and transmit metadata—information about the digital files—in a consistent and efficient manner. This helps ensure that digital assets are easily understood, preserved, and accessible across different systems, facilitating digital management and long-term preservation of valuable information.
