This Digital Preservation Case Note describes an audio digitization project at the British Library Sound Archives, funded by the JISC. Besides providing a brief overview of the project goals and approach taken, it focuses in particular on the BL ARC decision to implement METS for metadata management.
This brief case study is especially useful for bringing attention to a large audio archive’s reasoning for choosing METS. Although only an overview, it does include additional links to the ASR project website which includes more valuable documentation, such as their METS profile and its “Lessons Learned” report.
