Nov/Dec 2009 article about whether to migrate TIFF master files to JPEG2000. Found that right now keeping TIFF's is the best option because JPEG2000 is not supported widely enough (esp by browsers).

Workshop in Boston, MA on January 18-22.
Metadata Encoding and Transmission Standard (METS) is a data encoding and transmission specification, expressed in XML, that provides a means for conveying the structural, descriptive, and administrative metadata necessary for both the management of digital objects within a repository and the exchange of such objects between repositories (or between repositories and their users). This common digital object format was designed to facilitate both the exchange of digital materials among institutions and vendors, and the shared development of supporting tools. METS is currently used by libraries and cultural heritage institutions worldwide including the Library of Congress, the British Library, the German National Library, the Ministry of Culture Spain, the National Diet Library Japan, the National Library of Finland, the National Library of Portugal, the National Library of Wales and numerous research libraries across the globe.

The work will focus on guidelines intended for works categorized as historical, cultural and/or archival. In addition to digital imaging and encoding, guidelines will be developed for the metadata that is embedded in digital image files, with a view to increasing the extent to which the files can be “self-describing.”

Participants include IMLS, Library of Congress, NLM, NAL, NIST, GPO, NARA.
