e-GMS

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The e-GMS is the UK e-Government Metadata Standard. It is an application profile of the Dublin Core Metadata Element Set.

The e-GMS defines how UK public sector bodies should label content such as web pages and documents in order to make such information more easily managed, found and shared.

The standard consists of mandatory, recommended and optional metadata elements such as title, date created and description.

The e-GMS is part of the eGovernment Interoperability Framework (e-GIF).
