5.1 File

A File VEO contains a single File (M142) element which describes the folder.

Figure 23. The main elements of a File element.

A File VEO only contains metadata. There are two main collections of metadata:

  • File Metadata (M143). The information within this element is almost identical to that contained in a Record Metadata (M11) element, except that the information relates to a folder, not a record. This element is described in detail in the following section.
  • File Disposal (M145). This optional element contains information associated with the disposal of the folder. It is only present if the folder has been disposed of.

An example of the top-level of a File (M142) is:

<vers:File>
    <vers:FileMetadata>
     […]
    </vers:FileMetadata>
    <vers:FileDisposal>
     […]
    </vers:FileDisposal>
</vers:File>
