5.2 Metadata (Context)

Metadata is information associated with the record. Metadata can describe the record, describe the content of the record, document its relationship with other records and the organisation (the record's context) and describe the encoding of the content. Metadata can also document the use and continuing management of the record.

PROS 99/007 Specification 2: VERS Metadata Scheme describes the metadata required for VERS compliance.
