iMetadata_File_ReaderWriter Interface

Interface which all metadata file reader/writers must implement.

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

Syntax

C#
public interface iMetadata_File_ReaderWriter

Remarks

These are reader/writers which write the entire resource as a full metadata file (although not each piece of the resource may be saved in every format). These are different (but may depend on) the METS dmdSec and amdSec reader/writers which write just a single section of extensible metadata within a larger METS file.
