It is important to validate the METS which you generate with the provided XSDs before uploading them to the platform. This will prevent the need for fixing common errors. You can validate the XML using online tools, for example: http://www.xmlvalidation.com/. It is important that you place the XSD xlink.xsd in the same folder as mets.xsd.

Tip

Because the value of the attribute xlink:href must be a valid URI, you will have to URI encode its value if the path to the file contains illegal URI symbols such as ? % etc.
