Notes

Library of Congress website

Main news and landing page regarding METS 2 are up! https://www.loc.gov/standards/mets/mets2.html. Just a small thing remaining, i.e. the link should not be on the title but the (now removed) text below (Andreas will reach out to Glenn).

  • Next steps are cleaning out things to specifically mention version 1 if necessary. Karin has prepared detailed changes.
  • Sending out a release announcement more widely? We intend to have a Birds of a Feather session in Wellington (iPres 2025). It would be good to have something out at least a couple of months ahead so people can prepare. We would know if the application is accepted by August 15th, and we could directly send out an information on this together with a more broad information about METS 2 release.

  • subsequently resolving eventual conflicts for #48 and #49 before merging them as well.

  • #7: wait just a bit for the below issues, but should be safe to do then.

  • #37: wait on possible input from Robin/Aaron, otherwise just keep as is.
  • #46: Aaron will finalize.
