public class Mechanism
extends ObjectType
implements Serializable

mechanism: executable mechanism. A mechanism element contains a pointer to an executable code module that implements a set of behaviors defined by an interface definition. The mechanism element will be a pointer to another object (a mechanism object). A mechanism object could be another METS object, or some other entity (e.g., a WSDL file). A mechanism object should contain executable code, pointers to executable code, or specifications for binding to network services (e.g., web services).
