METS and DDI/FGDC
- DDI is Data Documentation Initiative, a metadata specification for the social and behavioral sciences; see http://www.ddialliance.org/.
- FGDC is Federal Geographic Data Committee Metadata Standard [FGDC-STD-001-1998]; see http://www.fgdc.gov/metadata/csdgm/
- DDI and FGDC are considered descriptive metadata (mdSec) in METS. From http://www.loc.gov/standards/mets/METSOverview.v2.html: "Valid values for the MDTYPE element [in mdSec] include...DDI (Data Documentation Initiative), FGDC (Federal Geographic Data Committee Metadata Standard [FGDC-STD-001-1998]."
- In the Archivematica METS file, a DDI or FGDC file could be referenced from the mdSec using mdRef, for example as follows: <mdRef LABEL="CCRI-CDN-Census1911V20110628.xml-73b93b28-be1b-433f-861e-03bc321dfe7e" xlink:href="metadata/CCRI-CDN-Census1911V20110628.xml" MDTYPE="DDI" LOCTYPE="OTHER" OTHERLOCTYPE="SYSTEM"/>.
Validating DDI and FGDC on ingest
- Since DDI and FGDC are complex schemas and some manipulation may be required by the archivist prior to ingest, it may be useful to add metadata validation as a transfer or ingest micro-service, eg using xmllint.
- Sample validation command: xmllint --schema ddi:instance:3_1 metadata/CCRI-CDN-Census1911V20110628.xml.
