VERS Resources

NB: All the downloadable files in this XML Products section are text files. To view them you will need a text editor (e.g. Notepad). Because the file extensions used for these files are not standard (.dtd and .veo) your computer may not recognise these files as text files. If this occurs, you will be prompted by your computer to select an application to use to open these files. You can safely choose any text editor for this purpose.]

VERS XML DTD (Version 2.0.0)
VERS XML DTD (Version 1.2)

Objects encoded using this DTD are known as VERS Encapsulated Objects or VEOs. There are currently two differing types of VEOs; Record VEOs which contain the record content and metadata, and File VEOs which contain metadata related to a logical grouping of records. Changes to a record's metadata may be made by wrapping a new layer of XML around the existing Record VEO. In this way it is possible to store a record's 'history' with the record itself. These layered VEOs are known as Onion VEOs. To find out more about VEOs please see the Standard for the Management of Electronic Records (PROS 99/007).
