Hi, I am working on a METS document and want to point to files using paths relative to the METS document. I was wondering what the current best-practice is in this situation. Can file URLs be used in this context? e.g., <mets:techMD ID="techMD.ref3456_v3_ert01m_jhove"> <mets:mdRef LOCTYPE="URL" xlink:type="simple" xlink:href="./xsdf/techmd/ref3456_v3_ert01m_jhove.xml" MDTYPE="OTHER" OTHERMDTYPE="JHOVE"/> </mets:techMD> Is it preferable to prefix the path with the "file://" URL scheme? xlink:href="file:///./xsdf/techmd/ref3456_v3_ert01m_jhove.xml" Is there a better approach?
