title:UCSD Simple Object Profile
abstract:The UCSD Libraries uses the UCSD Simple Object profile for composing METS instances
for digital objects consisting of a single digital content file and associated descriptive,
administrative, and structural metadata. The single digital content file may be of any
format type, e.g., audio, image, text, or video, and it may be represented in the METS
instance with content equivalent file versions. For example, a digital image may be
represented in the METS instance by a TIFF file, a JPEG file, and a GIF file, with each
containing the same content image.
description_rules:
All applications of MODS in UCSD METS records adhere to the MODS User Guidelines
published by the Library of Congress's Network Development and MARC Standards
Office.

University of California Regents, "The work is in the public domain" for works
known to have entered the public domain, or "Copyright status of the work has
not been determined by the UCSD Libraries" for works for which the copyright
holder(s) cannot be identified and the work cannot be said to have entered the
public domain.
requirement:
@ID="rightsMD4"
If necessary, a justification of the rights declaration can be included in
<rts:RightsDeclaration> element to explain the copyright
assertion. This is not necessary if the basis for the assertion is evident in
the descriptive metadata for the object. In cases where this is not evident, a
justification statement may be very useful. Examples of such cases include 1)
when the copyright holder is different than the creator and 2) when an item has
been gifted to the public domain prior to the copyright expiring.

A conforming METS record may, but is not required to, include a
<rts:RightsHolder> from the METSRights Schema for those works for
which the copyright holder(s) can be identified. Data can include the name of
the copyright holder(s), their contact information and any notes relevant to the

Each <fileGrp> must include a file USE attribute representing the
intended use of the referenced file.

sections by including the relevant ID values in the ADMID attribute. The AMDID
attribute should also reference pertinent <sourceMD> and
<provenanceMD> elements, if present. The <file>
element should only reference ID values at the levels of <techMD>,
<sourceMD>, and <digiprovMD>.
structMap:
requirement:
@ID="structMap1"
A conforming METS record must contain only one <structMap>
element

<par>, or <seq> element. These elements are not
supported in objects conforming to this profile.
requirement:
@ID="structMap9"
The <mptr> element is not supported in this profile.
multiSection:
requirement:
@ID="multi1"
Only <file> elements will reference elements in the
<techMD>, <sourceMD>, and <digiprovMD>
sections.
requirement:
@ID="multi2"
Only the <div> element will reference metadata in the
<dmdSec> and <rightsMD> sections. That is,
descriptive metadata and rights metadata are always and only expressed in
conjunction with division of the <structMap> and not in
conjunction with the content file.
technical_requirements:
content_files:
requirement:
The profile does not prescribe a format for the file, but it is strongly
recommended that the file format and resolution for at least one version of the
image be of an archival quality.
metadata_files:
requirement:
This profile does not prescribe referencing of external metadata records. If an
external metadata record is referenced, it is recommended that the file be valid
for the schema in which it is written, i.e., that it be a valid MARC record.
