Subject: Australian Government Locator Service User Manual now available
I am pleased to announce that the User Manual for the Australian
Government Locator Service metadata schema is now available as a PDF
Document on the Website of the Office of Government Information
Technology (OGIT). The URL is
http://www.ogit.gov.au/pubagls/manual.PDF
In a few weeks time, after some further stylistic editing is conducted
on the Manual, it will be mounted in HTML format on the Website of the
National Archives of Australia at
http://www.naa.gov.au/govserv/agls/
The User Manual has been written by DSTC Pty Ltd with input from a
reference group convened by OGIT and in response to a tender process
funded by OGIT. The Manual will be an evolving document. The National
Archives, as AGLS Maintenance Agency, will take responsibility for
additions and improvements to the Manual in response to practical
deployment experience.
In particular, the Manual gives guidance on the semantics of the 17 AGLS
elements, 15 of which are also Dublic Core elements. The Manual does
not give explicit guidance on matters of syntax. On the question of
syntax I would refer interested parties to the 'Reggie' tool for
metadata creation. Reggie provides excellent assistance as regards the
syntax for AGLS meta-tagging. Reggie can be found at
