Dear Code4Lib Community read the METS based OpenMIC - OpenWMS announcement (July 9th) with great interest. It points at a need beyond METS creation and that is METS Viewers for end users: who in the CODE4LIB community is working on METS Viewer applications ? Here is an example of what we mean by that - the DFGViewer: http://dfg-viewer.de/en/regarding-the-project/ Anyone else ? Background: the International Institute for Social History [ http:// www.iisg.nl ] has such collections that we are involved with both the archiving and library communities. Metadata issues therefore are a mixed bag. Added to that are Permanent Access issues. We are looking at METS to tie it all together and at METS Viewers for our users to easily navigate and negotiate what 's pulled together in these METS containers. Thanks, Repke de Vries
