The Metadata Encoding & Transmission Standard (METS) is an XML Schema created under the sponsorship of the Digital Library Federation and maintained by the Library of Congress which allows to create a rich structure capable to hold not only the multiple types of metadata used to describe the assets of a digital library, but also the own digital objects, be for management purposes, be to allow an interchange between different institutions. This article presents the motivation problems for its creation and its historical origin in the Making of America II project. Describes the purpose of each XML element that forms the vocabulary of this standard and shows the usage of some of them with XML coded examples, which requires a basic knowledge of that language for better understanding. Expresses its relation with the Open Archival Information System model as a meaningful example of its use and, finally, mentions other standards created with similar purposes.
