Class DSpaceMETSDisseminator

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    PackageDisseminator

    public class DSpaceMETSDisseminator
    extends AbstractMETSDisseminator
    Packager plugin to produce a METS (Metadata Encoding and Transmission Standard) package that is accepted as a DSpace METS SIP (Submission Information Package). See http://www.loc.gov/standards/mets/ for more information on METS.

    This class does not produce a true DSpace DIP, because there was no DIP standard when it was implemented. It does contain some features beyond the requirements of a SIP (e.g. deposit licenses), anticipating the DIP specification.

    DSpaceMETSDisseminator was intended to be an useful example of a packager plugin, and a way to create packages acceptable to the METS SIP importer.
