Metadata Standards for Records Management: ISO 23081 Series

The series includes three key components:

1. ISO 23081-1:2017 focuses on principles, linking metadata requirements to core professional statements in ISO 15489-1.
2. ISO 23081-2:2021 offers practical advice on implementing metadata, managing it, and defining metadata elements through a conceptual model.
3. ISO/TR 23081-3:2011 provides a self-assessment checklist in Excel to evaluate metadata schema against the standards.

These standards are pivotal for designing technical specifications for records, ensuring they maintain integrity, authenticity, and usability across all business environments. They go beyond merely describing digital records by defining and managing the actions taken on them, enabling organisations to demonstrate reliable digital communications.

Focusing on innovation, the series supports the development of tailored records solutions and modern business applications to manage records effectively for the future. Read More Here.
