About: The AGLS Metadata Standard is a set of elements which government departments and agencies are to use to improve the visibility and accessibility of their services and information over the Internet.
Status: Mandatory. Under the 2000 Government Online Strategy, departments and agencies are required to adopt the AGLS standard. The AGLS was also published as Australian Standard (AS 5044) by Standards Australia in December 2002.
Note: In addition to the standard itself, Australian Government agencies are required to comply with the AGLS Commonwealth Implementation Manual.
