METS: Metadata Encoding and Transmission Standard.
+METS is intended to provide a standardized XML format for transmission
+of complex digital library objects between systems. As such, it can be
+seen as filling a role similar to that defined for the Submission
+Information Package (SIP), Archival Information Package (AIP) and
+Dissemination Information Package (DIP) in the Reference Model for an
+Open Archival Information System.

par: Parallel files.
+The par element should used to link a div to a set of content files
+when those files should be played/displayed in unison to deliver the
+content to the user (e.g., displaying a text transcript simultaneously
+with playing an audio file). A par element has two possible subsidiary
+elements, which should be used in different cases. In cases where each
+bytestream to be played in parallel can fit in a single file, you
+should use subsidiary <area> elements within the par element to
+point to those files. However, in some cases, bytestreams which should
+be played in parallel are too large to fit in a single file (high
+quality multi-track audio, or video). In those cases, you should use
+subsidiary <seq> elements, where each <seq> contains the
+files comprising a particular bytestream in the order they should be
+played back. So, for example, in the case where you had an audio
+recording which had to be split into three different, sequential files,
+and a text transcription of the recording in a single file, you would
+use a par element containing two seq elements. The first seq element
+would contain three area elements, one for each audio file; the second
+seq element would contain a single area element, for the text
+transcription file.

Div Complex Type
+The METS standard represents a document structurally as a series of
+nested div elements, that is, as a hierarchy (e.g., a book, which is
+composed of chapters, which are composed of subchapters, which are
+composed of text). Every div node in the structural map hierarchy may
+be connected (via subsidiary mptr or fptr elements) to content files
+which represent that div's portion of the whole document.
SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING DIV ATTRIBUTE VALUES:
to
+clarify the differences between the ORDER, ORDERLABEL, and LABEL
+attributes for the <div> element, imagine a text with 10 roman
+numbered pages followed by 10 arabic numbered pages. Page iii would
+have an ORDER of "3", an ORDERLABEL of "iii" and a LABEL of "Page iii",
+while page 3 would have an ORDER of "13", an ORDERLABEL of "3" and a
+LABEL of "Page 3".

behaviorType: Complex Type for Behaviors.
+A behavior can be used to associate executable behaviors with content
+in the METS object. A behavior element has an interface definition
+element that represents an abstract definition of the set of behaviors
+represented by a particular behavior. A behavior element also has an
+behavior mechanism which is a module of executable code that implements
+and runs the behavior defined abstractly by the interface definition.

STRUCTID: Structural Map IDS
+IDREFS to structMap sections or divs within a structMap in the METS
+document. The content that the STRUCTID attribute points to is
+considered "input" to the behavior mechanism (executable) defined for
+the behavior.

GROUPID:
+xsd:string

GROUPID: an optional string attribute

file: File element.
+The file element provides access to content files for a METS object. A
+file element may contain one or more FLocat elements, which provide
+pointers to a content file, and/or an FContent element, which wraps an
+encoded version of the file. Note that ALL FLocat and FContent elements
+underneath a single file element should identify/contain identical
+copies of a single file.
