title:
Library of Congress Audio Compact Disc METS Profile
abstract:
The Library of Congress Compact Disc METS Profile specifies how METS documents representing audio compact discs within Library of Congress digital library projects should be encoded. The term "compact disc" applies both to items issued as single discs and also to items issued as multiple disc sets. The distinctive features of the profile are: 1) the use of MODS to express the logical structure of the compact disc (by means of a hierarchy of relatedItem type="constituent" elements), 2) the use of the METS structMap to express the physical structure of the compact disc (by means of a hierarchy of typed div elements, and 3) a straightforward correlation of the two differing hierarchies by means of XML ID/IDREF links.
