Requirements for Moving images

Requirements for METS.xml beyond the general SIP requirements

This is a list of requirements for the METS.xml file for moving image packages delivered to the National Library of Norway. These are additional requirements beyond what is defined in METS.xml requirements.

ID	Name, METS Element, description	Requirement	Cardinality
NBMOVINGIMAGESIP1	Content Category The attribute `mets/@TYPE` MUST be used to specify the category of the content within the package, e.g., “Datasets”, “Websites”, “Mixes”, “Other”, etc. Valid values are defined in a controlled vocabulary. When the content category falls outside the defined vocabulary, the `mets/@TYPE` value MUST be set to `Other`, and the specific value must be specified in `mets/@csip:OTHERTYPE`. The vocabulary will be updated by the DILCIS Board as additional content information specifications are added. For moving images, use: `Other` : A term different from those included in the controlled vocabulary. See the vokabulary here E-ARK-CSIP-Content Category. This is a spesification of CSIP2.	MUST	1..1
NBMOVINGIMAGESIP2	Other content category `mets[@csip:TYPE='OTHER']/@csip:OTHERTYPE` When `mets/@TYPE` uses the value `Other`, `mets/@csip:OTHERTYPE` MUST be used to specify the content category of the package/representation. For moving images, use: `Moving images - on tangible media` : Used for moving images that have been digitized from an analog source. `Moving images - digital` : Used for moving images that are born-digital or originate from digital sources. This is a spesification of CSIP3.	MUST	1..1
NBMOVINGIMAGESIP3	Content Information Type Specification `mets[@csip:CONTENTINFORMATIONTYPE` Used to define the specifications for the type of content information that were applied when the package was created. Valid values are defined in a controlled vocabulary. The attribute is mandatory for METS documents at the representation level. For moving images, the value `OTHER` is used (indicating a value not currently covered by the vocabulary). This is a spesification of CSIP4.	MUST	1..1
NBMOVINGIMAGESIP4	Other Content Information Type Specification `mets[@csip:CONTENTINFORMATIONTYPE='OTHER']/@csip:OTHERCONTENTINFORMATIONTYPE` When `mets/@csip:CONTENTINFORMATIONTYPE` uses the value `OTHER`, `mets/@csip:OTHERCONTENTINFORMATIONTYPE` MUST be used to specify the type of content information. OTHERCONTENTINFORMATIONTYPE for moving images MUST be set to `NB-METS-MOVINGIMAGES-PROFILE-1.0`. This is a spesification of CSIP5.	MUST	1..1
