SobekCM METS Editor Downloads

Downloads and Options

Version 1.1.0 - July 7, 2013

This tool is free-standing and allows the creation of METS from a folder of items. It additionally allows the user to enter all of the bibliographic information, and assign page names and divisions to the structure map.

This windows application can be downloaded in the following formats:

• Install File (MSI) installs this application on your machine.
• The latest source code released is available on the sourceforge project page.

Installation Requirements and Permissions

The download will be a MSI windows installer file. Run this application to install the METS Editor application on your local computer.

This windows application will run on any machine running a Microsoft operating system from Windows XP up to Windows 7 or Server 2008. This application requires that .NET framework version 4.0 is also installed on the machine. This can be downloaded from the Microsoft Download Center if it is missing on your machine.

It is recommended that after installation you navigate to the application's folder ( by default this is C:\Program Files (x86)\SobekCM or C:\Program Files\SobekCM ). Selecting the main application folder ( SobekCM METS Editor ), use the right button on the mouse to pull up the context menu and then select Properties. On the properties menu, select Security. Then edit the security to give either yourself or everyone read/write access to the directory, subdirectories, and files. To use some features of the METS Editor, in particular the ability to create default project files, the editor will need access to write into the subfolder.

Initialization will continue the first time you launch the application.

Changes in this Version

• Corrected issue with the slash being the wrong way for files which appear in subfolders in the fileSec ( i.e., "xlink:href="106_105\01\105_01-01.tif" is now correctly "xlink:href="106_105/01/105_01-01.tif" )
