Hi Keith,

If you are talking about the METS file provided in an AIP (Archival Information Package) export, the structure of that METS file is documented (in human terms) at: https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSDOC5x/DSpace+AIP+Format

So, hopefully that documentation could give you enough information about how the XML is structured to allow you to extract the exact information you need. If not, it may be worth sending along a more specific question, or giving this mailing list more information about your use case / needs.

Good luck,
Tim

Thanks Tim for the information.

What I'm trying to do is to parse the mets file for say an item. I'm looking to call the mets file via the wbe into php and parse the information returned.

Not sure if anyone has done work on this.

    Hi Keith,

    The simple answer is that most of the DSpace XML namespaces are
    treated more like URIs than URLs.  That means they are
    non-resolvable (and never have been, from the time they were
    created, which was about 10 years ago for some).

    In more recent years, we have been trying to make a conscious
    effort to include XSDs (XML Schema Definitions) within the DSpace
    source code itself. But, there are still a few that are known to
    be missing since the beginning (e.g. the DSpace Intermediate
    Metadata or DIM schema never seems to have ever been created).

    We do welcome contributions to DSpace, and I'd love to see us
    correct existing XSDs or recreate any XSDs that are missing. So,
    if there are particular schemas you are looking for, it may be
    worth opening up a ticket in our JIRA issue tracker
    (https://jira.duraspace.org/projects/DS/issues
    <https://jira.duraspace.org/projects/DS/issues>), so that we can
    work to find a volunteer developer to recreate or update the
    schema.  If you (or anyone else on this list) have any interest in
    helping recreate these, we also welcome code contributions:

    Hi All,

    I was trying to access the Dspace XML namespaces at the following
    links:

    http://www.dspace.org/xmlns/dspace
    <http://www.dspace.org/xmlns/dspace> and
    http://www.dspace.org/xmlns/dspace/dlm
    <http://www.dspace.org/xmlns/dspace/dlm>,

    but both links are not working.

    Does anyone know where I can find this information.

    Thanks
    Keith
