METS Java Toolkit (Harvard University Library)

Description: This tool uses Java to construct, validate, and process METS objects. It allows for reading in a METS document and using it as a Java object, where it can be modified and the resulting METS written out. The toolkit is a Java binding framework in which each particular schema element of a METS file (e.g. techMD, @LABEL) is represented in memory by an instantiated object where nodes and values can be set and then it can be added to the content of model of its parent. The toolkit supports both local and global validation of METS files.

The METS Java Toolkit is a general METS maker, which could be used to provide a slot for including or referencing PREMIS descriptions. It allows for the inclusion of an MDTYPE attribute with the value "PREMIS". However, it does not fill in the values of the PREMIS elements.
