Recordkeeping Metadata Standard

The Recordkeeping Metadata Standard is a set of guidelines that define how information about records is organized and described. It helps ensure that records—like documents, emails, or files—are consistently labeled with details such as their creator, date, format, and how they were created. This standard makes it easier to find, manage, and preserve records over time, supporting accurate recordkeeping and compliance. Essentially, it provides a common language for describing records so organizations can efficiently handle their information assets.
