AGLS Maintenance Agency

The AGLS Maintenance Agency manages the evolution of the AGLS Metadata Standard, including the addition and definition of properties, Vocabulary Encoding Schemes and Syntax Encoding Schemes, under the auspices of the National Archives of Australia (NAA).

The AGLS Maintenance Agency:

– convenes regular meetings of the AGLS Working Group (to ensure communication and consultation with Australian government metadata practitioners);
– liaises with the international Dublin Core community; and
– maintains the AGLS website and AGLS documentation (including schemas).

The AGLS Maintenance Agency will make recommendations on changes to the properties in response to input from the AGLS user community and outcomes of studies of AGLS Metadata usage.

The AGLS Maintenance Agency welcomes feedback and suggestions about changes to the AGLS Metadata Standard. If the suggestion has merit, the National Archives will seek the views of the AGLS Working Group. Contact the AGLS Maintenance Agency, to provide input or feedback at:
