Formats
METS format has been implemented as a container for all metadata retrieved through the OAI2 interface. The bibliographic metadata for the respective object has been embedded in MODS format. Responses to OAI2 requests are delivered as well-formed XML documents.
All formats are offered in UTF-8 decomposed character encoding:
| Formatse | Format name | Standard |
|---|---|---|
| mets | Format used to describe digital collections of objects with metadata | Metadata Encoding & Transmission Standard |
| mods | Format for bibliographic metadata | Metadata Object Description Schema |
| oai_dc (DNB Casual) | Selection of Dublin Core elements | OAI DC Schema |
