ADMID (IDREF/O): Contains the ID attribute values of the <techMD>, <sourceMD>, <rightsMD> and/or <digiprovMD> elements within the <amdSec> of the METS document applicable to all of the files in a particular file group. For more information on using METS IDREFS and IDREF type attributes for internal linking, see Chapter 4 of the METS Primer.
ID (ID/O): 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. For more information on using ID attributes for internal and external linking see Chapter 4 of the METS Primer.
USE (string/O): A tagging attribute to indicate the intended use of files within this file group (e.g., master, reference, thumbnails for image files). A USE attribute can be expressed at the<fileGrp> level, the <file> level, the <FLocat> level and/or the <FContent> level. A USE attribute value at the <fileGrp> level should pertain to all of the files in the <fileGrp>. A USE attribute at the <file> level should pertain to all copies of the file as represented by subsidiary <FLocat> and/or <FContent> elements. A USE attribute at the <FLocat> or <FContent> level pertains to the particular copy of the file that is either referenced (<FLocat>) or wrapped (<FContent>).
The file element <file> provides access to the content files for the digital object being described by the METS document. A <file> element may contain one or more <FLocat> elements which provide pointers to a content file and/or a <FContent> element which wraps an encoded version of the file. Embedding files using <FContent> can be a valuable feature for exchanging digital objects between repositories or for archiving versions of digital objects for off-site storage. All <FLocat> and <FContent> elements should identify and/or contain identical copies of a single file. The <file> element is recursive, thus allowing sub-files or component files of a larger file to be listed in the inventory. Alternatively, by using the <stream> element, a smaller component of a file or of a related file can be placed within a <file> element. Finally, by using the <transformFile> element, it is possible to include within a <file> element a different version of a file that has undergone a transformation for some reason, such as format migration.
ADMID (IDREFS/O): Contains the ID attribute values of the <techMD>, <sourceMD>, <rightsMD> and/or <digiprovMD> elements within the <amdSec> of the METS document that contain administrative metadata pertaining to the file. For more information on using METS IDREFS and IDREF type attributes for internal linking, see Chapter 4 of the METS Primer.
BEGIN (string/O): An attribute that specifies the point in the parent <file> where the current <file> begins. When used in conjunction with a <file> element, this attribute is only meaningful when this element is nested, and its parent <file> element represents a container file. It can be used in conjunction with the END attribute as a means of defining the location of the current file within its parent file. However, the BEGIN attribute can be used with or without a companion END attribute. When no END attribute is specified, the end of the parent file is assumed also to be the end point of the current file. The BEGIN and END attributes can only be interpreted meaningfully in conjunction with a BETYPE attribute, which specifies the kind of beginning/ending point values that are being used.
BETYPE: Begin/End Type.BETYPE (string/O): An attribute that specifies the kind of BEGIN and/or END values that are being used. Currently BYTE is the only valid value that can be used in conjunction with nested <file> or <stream> elements.
CHECKSUMTYPE (enumerated string/O): Specifies the checksum algorithm used to produce the value contained in the CHECKSUM attribute. CHECKSUMTYPE must contain one of the following values:Adler-32CRC32HAVALMD5MNPSHA-1SHA-256SHA-384SHA-512TIGERWHIRLPOOL
DMDID (IDREFS/O): Contains the ID attribute values identifying the <dmdSec>, elements in the METS document that contain or link to descriptive metadata pertaining to the content file represented by the current <file> element. For more information on using METS IDREFS and IDREF type attributes for internal linking, see Chapter 4 of the METS Primer.
END (string/O): An attribute that specifies the point in the parent <file> where the current, nested <file> ends. It can only be interpreted meaningfully in conjunction with the BETYPE, which specifies the kind of ending point values being used. Typically the END attribute would only appear in conjunction with a BEGIN attribute.
GROUPID (string/O): An identifier that establishes a correspondence between this file and files in other file groups. Typically, this will be used to associate a master file in one file group with the derivative files made from it in other file groups.
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. Typically, the ID attribute value on a <file> element would be referenced from one or more FILEID attributes (which are of type IDREF) on <fptr>and/or <area> elements within the <structMap>. Such references establish links between structural divisions (<div> elements) and the specific content files or parts of content files that manifest them. For more information on using ID attributes for internal and external linking see Chapter 4 of the METS Primer.
MIMETYPE (string/O): The IANA MIME media type for the associated file or wrapped content. Some values for this attribute can be found on the IANA website.
USE (string/O): A tagging attribute to indicate the intended use of all copies of the file aggregated by the <file> element (e.g., master, reference, thumbnails for image files). A USE attribute can be expressed at the<fileGrp> level, the <file> level, the <FLocat> level and/or the <FContent> level. A USE attribute value at the <fileGrp> level should pertain to all of the files in the <fileGrp>. A USE attribute at the <file> level should pertain to all copies of the file as represented by subsidiary <FLocat> and/or <FContent> elements. A USE attribute at the <FLocat> or <FContent> level pertains to the particular copy of the file that is either referenced (<FLocat>) or wrapped (<FContent>).
