VRACore_METS_dmdSec_ReaderWriter Class

Class is used to read and write VRACore metadata developed by the Visual Resource Association for visual materials, such as museum artifacts. This reader/writer is used to read and write this data as a dmdSec sections within a METS file.

Namespace: SobekCM.Resource_Object.METS_Sec_ReaderWriters
Assembly: SobekCM_Resource_Object (in SobekCM_Resource_Object.dll) Version: 4.10.0.0 (4.10.0)

Syntax

C#
public class VRACore_METS_dmdSec_ReaderWriter : XML_Writing_Base_Type, iPackage_dmdSec_ReaderWriter

Remarks

Previously, the VRACore information was encoded within the MODS dmdSec in the SobekCM METS files within the extension tag. As such, the MODS reader/writer continues to look for and read any VRACore data within a MODS files. However, the default MODS writer will not write the data, as it should be written here within its own dmdSec.
