California Digital Library. The California Digital Library is establishing a generic
METS repository infrastructure to help manage the digital objects in its control. A specific
use of this repository is a project to provide searching and display of 1,500 records
for books published online by the CDL on behalf of the University of California Press.
Records are extracted from the union catalog and transformed to MODS, then inserted
into the METS record. The METS records also include another metadata segment comprised
of information extracted from a FilemakerPro database supplied by UC Press.
Specified fields in these records are used for indexing and searching as well as in response
to an Open Archives Initiative Harvesting Protocol query.
