3 VERS long term format (VERS Encapsulated Object)

The VERS long-term format consists of an object (known as a VERS Encapsulated Object or VEO) represented in eXtensible Markup Language (XML). This object contains contextual information about the record or a folder, and may also contain document files, image files, sound files, movie files, etc. The VEO is signed using digital signature technology to ensure integrity.

Formal definitions of all of the metadata described in this section can be found in PROS 99/007 Specification 2: VERS Metadata Scheme.
