Element amdSecType / techMD
Namespace http://www.loc.gov/METS/
Annotations
A technical metadata element <techMD> records technical metadata about a component of the METS object, such as a digital content file. The <techMD> element conforms to same generic datatype as the <dmdSec>, <rightsMD>, <sourceMD> and <digiprovMD> elements, and supports the same sub-elements and attributes.  A technical metadata element can either wrap the metadata  (mdWrap) or reference it in an external location (mdRef) or both.  METS allows multiple <techMD> elements; and technical metadata can be associated with any METS element that supports an ADMID attribute. Technical metadata can be expressed according to many current technical description standards (such as MIX and textMD) or a locally produced XML schema.

ADMID xsd:IDREFS optional
ADMID (IDREFS/O): Contains the ID attribute values of the <digiprovMD>, <techMD>, <sourceMD> and/or <rightsMD> elements within the <amdSec> of the METS document that contain administrative metadata pertaining to the current mdSecType element. Typically used in this context to reference preservation metadata (digiprovMD) which applies to the current metadata. For more information on using METS IDREFS and IDREF type attributes for internal linking, see Chapter 4 of the METS Primer.
CREATED xsd:dateTime optional
CREATED (dateTime/O): Specifies the date and time of creation for the metadata.
GROUPID xsd:string optional
GROUPID (string/O): This identifier is used to indicate that different metadata sections may be considered as part of a group. Two metadata sections with the same GROUPID value are to be considered part of the same group. For example this facility might be used to group changed versions of the same metadata if previous versions are maintained in a file for tracking purposes.
ID xsd:ID required
ID (ID/R): This attribute uniquely identifies the element within the METS document, and would allow the element to be referenced unambiguously from another element or document via an IDREF or an XPTR. The ID attribute on the <dmdSec>, <techMD>, <sourceMD>, <rightsMD> and <digiprovMD> elements (which are all of mdSecType) is required, and its value should be referenced from one or more DMDID attributes (when the ID identifies a <dmdSec> element) or ADMID attributes (when the ID identifies a <techMD>, <sourceMD>, <rightsMD> or <digiprovMD> element) that are associated with other elements in the METS document. The following elements support references to a <dmdSec> via a DMDID attribute: <file>, <stream>, <div>.  The following elements support references to <techMD>, <sourceMD>, <rightsMD> and <digiprovMD> elements via an ADMID attribute: <metsHdr>, <dmdSec>, <techMD>, <sourceMD>, <rightsMD>, <digiprovMD>, <fileGrp>, <file>, <stream>, <div>, <area>, <behavior>.

Namespace http://www.loc.gov/METS/
Annotations
A digital provenance metadata element <digiprovMD> can be used to record any preservation-related actions taken on the various files which comprise a digital object (e.g., those subsequent to the initial digitization of the files such as transformation or migrations) or, in the case of born digital materials, the files’ creation. In short, digital provenance should be used to record information that allows both archival/library staff and scholars to understand what modifications have been made to a digital object and/or its constituent parts during its life cycle. This information can then be used to judge how those processes might have altered or corrupted the object’s ability to accurately represent the original item. One might, for example, record master derivative relationships and the process by which those derivations have been created. Or the <digiprovMD> element could contain information regarding the migration/transformation of a file from its original digitization (e.g., OCR, TEI, etc.,)to its current incarnation as a digital object (e.g., JPEG2000). The <digiprovMD> element conforms to same generic datatype as the <dmdSec>,  <techMD>, <rightsMD>, and <sourceMD> elements, and supports the same sub-elements and attributes. A digital provenance metadata element can either wrap the metadata  (mdWrap) or reference it in an external location (mdRef) or both.
