NZGLS metadata and thesauri - Home
The New Zealand Government Locator Service (NZGLS) strategy takes care of
the way in which government information and services - online and offline -
are described. These descriptions are called metadata.
The NZGLS strategy consists of:
- ensuring a consistent structure for the descriptions government agencies apply to their information and services - NZGLS metadata standard
- the terms used to describe information and services - NZGLS thesauri
- appropriate processes and tools for the creation and maintenance of the descriptions of agencies' information and services - NZGLS metadata management.
