The sound recording METS profile is not yet registered, but is based on the Australian METS Profile. This sound recording profile was developed for the purpose of delivering recordings through our Audio Delivery System. The profile only covers requirements for delivery, not for submission, ingest or archiving of sound recordings. The description below provides a basic explanation of what elements were included and why we included them.

Sound Recording Profile for Delivery If the purpose is to deliver an object as an OAIS Dissemination Information Package (DIP), a conforming METS document may contain only derivative files or pointers to derivative files, along with sufficient metadata to render or execute these files properly. In the case of complex hierarchical objects, components may be represented by another METS document and just referenced in the parent METS document.
