Details include:

XML Based: The file is built on XML, which organizes data in a standardized way.

Encapsulated Object: It wraps both the content and the metadata, making it suitable for digital record keeping.

Government Archival Use: Commonly used in systems managing archival and official records, as seen with Victorian government initiatives. For more details, visit prov.vic.gov.au.

FilExt.com tip: This format is also sometimes called the Victorian Electronic Object and is handled by specialized software that understands its schema.

Victorian Electronic Records Strategy (VERS) by Public Record Office Victoria
VEO stands for VERS Encapsulated Object, and forms part of the Victorian Electronic Records Strategy. VERS is a standard framework for management of Digital Records beyond the life of the program that created or managed them (5 - 100 years+). The VEO is a digital record storage format that allows the encapsulation of documents and metadata together into a single file object. The VEO is based on a standard XML schema, and uses digital signatures to ensure the authenticity and integrity of the record. The identifying characters used for this association are - Hex:, ASCII: <?xml version="1.0" standalone="no"?> <!DOCTYPE vers:VERSEncapsulatedObject SYSTEM "vers.dtd"> <vers:VERSEncapsulatedObject. This file format is classified as XML. Related links: VERS Standard PROS99/007 Version 1, VERS Standard PROS99/007 Version 2, VERS Toolkit
