A conforming METS record must have one rightsStatement/copyrightInformation/copyrightNote element for describing constraints placed on re-use or re-distribution of the work. The note should be in the form of: “Constraint(s) on Use: [note text].” For a work under US copyright, a typical dissertation or thesis, the note text shall be: “This work is protected by the U.S. Copyright Law (Title 17, U.S.C.). Use of this work beyond that allowed by “fair use” requires written permission of the copyright holder(s). Responsibility for obtaining permissions and any use and distribution of this work rests exclusively with the user and not the UC San Diego Libraries.

If source metadata is recorded, elements in the <sourceMD> sections should be expressed using an extension schema endorsed by the METS Editorial Board designed for expressing source metadata.
If provenance metadata is recorded, elements in the <digiprovMD> sections should be expressed using an extension schema endorsed by the METS Editorial Board designed for expressing provenance metadata.
The <fileSec> for a compliant UC San Diego ETD METS record must contain one <fileGrp> for the primary PDF.
The <fileGrp> must reference a file with the MIMETYPE of application/pdf.
The <fileSec> for a compliant UC San Diego ETD METS record may contain one or more additional <fileGrp> for one or more files associated with the primary PDF file. For example, the <fileSec> of an UC San Diego ETD METS record consisting of a PDF plus one sound recording would contain one <fileGrp> representing the primary PDF and another <fileGrp> representing the sound recording. No sequential relationship (using the SEQ attribute) for these files need be expressed.
The additional <fileGrp> may only reference files with MIMETYPE of TIFF, MP3, MPEG2, WAV, AIFF, EXE, MOV or AVI.
Each <fileGrp> must include a file USE attribute representing the intended use of the referenced file(s).
Each <file> element must reference pertinent <techMD> 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>.
A conforming METS record must contain one <structMap> element with the value encoded as "physical."
A conforming METS record may contain an additional <structMap> element with the value encoded as "logical."
The physical <structMap> represents a flattened structure and must only contain two levels of <div> elements with no further nesting. The top level <div> element required by the METS schema contains one level of child <div> elements to represent the linear sequence of the components of the digital object.
The logical structMap represents the full hierarchical structure of the digital object, and so can contain as many levels of nested <div> elements as required to express the objects full structure.
All <div> elements within the top level containing <div> must have an ORDER attribute.
When applicable, <div> elements must reference pertinent <dmdSec> sections by including the relevant ID values in the DMDID attributes.
When applicable, <div> elements should include a LABEL attribute with the value derived from, and identical, to the value encoded in the /mods/titleInfo/title element in the related <dmdSec>.
When applicable, <div> elements must reference pertinent <rightsMD> sections by including the relevant ID values in the ADMID attributes.
Each <fptr> element must reference an individual <file> element representing a version of the file.
The <fptr> element must use the FILEID attribute to point directly to a <file> element.
The <fptr> element may not contain an <area>, <par>, or <seq> element. These elements are not supported in objects conforming to this profile.
The <mptr> element is not supported in this profile.
This profile stipulates no requirements for the <structLink> element.
This profile stipulates no requirements for the <behaviorSec> element.
The <file> elements will only reference elements in the <techMD>, <sourceMD>, <digiprovMD>, and <rightsMD> sections.
The <div> element will only reference metadata in the <dmdSec> and <rightsMD> sections. That is, descriptive metadata are always and only expressed in conjunction with division of the <structMap> and not in conjunction with the content file(s), whereas rights metadata is expressed in conjunction with division of the <structMap> and / or with the content file(s).
This profile supports only PDF files and associated TIFF, WAV, AIFF, MP3, MOV, MPEG2, AVI and EXE files.
The profile does not prescribe association to any behaviors.
The 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.
No tools are associated with this profile
