7. The Resource Description Framework (RDF) is a W3C standard http://www.w3.org/RDF/ for a data model to encode structured metadata, including a mechanism to express metadata semantics. RDF data can be expressed in a standard XML schema http://www.w3.org/TR/rdf-syntaxgrammar/
8. The Open Archives Information System (OAIS) is a widely-adopted reference model for the components and data structures necessary for an archival, preservation environment. As of March, 2007 the standard can be located at http://public.ccsds.org/publications/archive/650x0b1.pdf
9. METS is an XML schema for modeling complex, structured digital objects that is often used to represent OAIS information packages. The METS DIP profile described for this project will be registered shortly with the METS registration agency (currently the Library of Congress) http://www.loc.gov/standards/mets/
