The National Archives of Australia is the maintenance agency for the AGLS Metadata Standard. The AGLS Metadata Standard is a set of 19 descriptive elements which government departments and agencies can use to improve the visibility and accessibility of their services and information over the Internet. It has been mandated for use by Australian Government agencies (see Better Services, Better Government: The Federal Government's E-Government Strategy). The AGLS standard is based upon the leading international online resource discovery metadata standard, the Dublin Core standard (Australian mirror site). The AGLS standard was developed in late 1997/early 1998 in response to Recommendation 6 in the report of the Information Management Steering Committee, The Management of Government Information as a National Strategic Resource. While the National Archives is the lead agency for AGLS development and deployment, the initiative is a cooperative venture between the Australian Government Information Management Office (AGIMO) and the Online Council Officials. AGLS was published as Australian Standard AS 5044 by Standards Australia in December 2002.
