| Notes | 'Note METS’s recent announcement preparing for the “next gen” standards: Announcing a METS Workshop at the Digital Libraries 2014 Conference in London, September 11-12: METS Now, and Then… Discussions of Current and Future Data Models. In this workshop, participants will develop an understanding of the data models underlying some canonical uses of the existing METS schema as a contextual basis for the description of a next generation METS (2.0) data model, participate in the refinement of the METS 2.0 data model being developed by the METS Editorial Board, and discuss options for serialization of the data model.\n \nRead METS editorial board minutes (http://www.loc.gov/standards/mets/mets-boardnotes.html)? Their technical documentation? Example docs? Community building? What do their Tools look like? i.e. LIMB and YooLib. Good place to start: METS Presentation (overview) prepared by Karin Bredenberg of the Riksarkivet/Swedish National Archives. And METS Suggested Reading list (background readings)\n - Brandon Costelloe-Kuehn'
