The third METS Opening Day event will take place in the United Kingdom
at the British Library Conference Center, St. Pancras, London on July
12, 2004.  

Those wishing to attend should register at
http://www.loc.gov/standards/mets/od_UK_form.html .  Information
regarding the program and tips on traveling to the conference are
available from the registration page.

This event will provide an overview of the METS metadata schema, and
discuss the basics of implementing digital library systems which use
METS. Participants will be given an opportunity to see how to build METS
documents from scratch, and learn about how other institutions are
implementing METS. There will also be opportunities to discuss the
technical details of implementing METS, including the use of creation
tools, endorsed extension schema, and making METS documents available to
users.

We look forward to seeing you in London!
