1 Introduction

Information in this guide is purely informative. Nothing in this guide imposes any requirements on a VERS compliant implementation; requirements are only imposed by the associated Specifications.

The purpose of this guide is to explain how to use the metadata defined in PROS 99/007 Specification 2: VERS Metadata Scheme.

This Advice concentrates on the metadata that is associated with a File VEO (folder) or Record VEO (record), including the metadata associated with Documents and Encodings. Structural metadata that is associated with VEOs in general (M1 to M9), Signature Blocks (M134 to M141 and M149 to M151), Lock Signature Blocks (M152) and Modified VEOs (M156 to M159) are described in Advice 12 on PROS 99/007 Specification 3: VERS Standard Electronic Record Format.
