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 the VERS standard electronic record format defined in PROS 99/007 Specification 3: VERS Standard Electronic Record Format. The VERS standard electronic record format is also known as a VERS Encapsulated Object or VEO.

As discussed in the Introduction to the Victorian Electronic Record Strategy (Advice 9), a VEO is used to represent a record or folder (file) independently of a recordkeeping system. VEOs may be used as a mechanism to transfer records and folders between two recordkeeping systems, or it may be used as a native format within a recordkeeping system.
