Abstract

METS (Metadata Encoding and Transmission Standard) is applied to constructing a digital library system of Takagi's collection in Center for Pacific and American Studies, University of Tokyo. The collection was presented by Professor Yasaka Takagi (1889-1984) of the same university, who is a pioneer of American studies in Japan, to the center for a researcher of the same field. Takagi's collection contains various types of material and media, for example a letter, a manuscript, a leaflet, proceedings etc. Currently cataloging activities for book and periodicals at library become simple and useful because of using online shared catalog system and OPAC. But there is no critical way of cataloguing for other types. METS is an XML-based standard for encoding "hub" documents for materials whose content is digital. We see the advantages of METS and analyze uses of METS to cataloging for various type materials.
