Overview and functionality

When selecting the plugin within the work step, one of these plugins can be selected: METSCreation, METSCreatePagination or MapMETSCreation.

When the METSCreation plugin is executed, it opens the METS file of the process, enriches it with the available images of the master or derivative directory and then saves it again.

The plugin METSCreatePagination also opens the METS file of the process when it is executed and then checks whether a valid path to the image files is entered there. If this is not the case, it is added. The image files are then read from the file system to add pagination. Finally, the METS file is saved.

If the MapMETSCreation plugin is executed, it opens the METS file and checks whether the metadata singleDigCollection exists. If this is not the case, the value Karten (German for Maps) is assigned to it. It then checks whether there is a valid file path and, if this does not exist, it is added. The image files are then read from the file system in order to add pagination. Finally, the METS file is saved.

Configuration

This plugin does not have a configuration file and therefore does not require any special settings.
