5 File VEOs

File VEOs represent recordkeeping folders (files) 1. Records are filed on folders; or, to put it another way, a folder contains all the records on a particular topic.

Although conceptually a folder contains records, in VERS a File VEO does not physically contain the associated Record VEOs. A File VEO contains metadata describing the folder.


1 In VERS, we now prefer to use the term 'folder' instead of 'file' to avoid confusion with files on a computer. The File VEO was named before we developed this distinction.
