What is a VEO file?

VEO files mostly belong to VERSEncapsulatedObject Viewer. The VEO file is a Victorian Encapsulated Object that uses an XML structure to store digital object data. It is designed to pack metadata and content in a single, well‐structured file.
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

VEO file format:

Each file has a definite file format, that is, how the stored data is arranged in the file. A file format is determined by the file extension and signature, so JPEG images have the extension .jpg and the first bytes in the file are ÿØÿ. Frequently, however, one file extension is used by different programs for different file formats, and one file format for different file extensions. Exact knowledge of the format is therefore important in order to solve problems occurring in files. In the following you will find our evaluation of the VEO files:

VEO is not a common file extension and predominantly uses a uniform format. However, the following two file formats are common:

80% of all VEO files are based on the popular XML file format. The Extensible Markup Language (XML) is a simple text-based format for representing structured information: documents, webpages, data, configuration, books, transactions, invoices, and much more. XML defines a set of rules for encoding documents in a format that is both human-readable and machine-readable. These files are text files and can therefore be read using a text editor. The files are often between 780 KB and 44 MB in size. It is a modern file type. Several words can almost always be found in the files, e.g. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no" ?><!DOCTYPE vers:VERSEncapsulatedObject SYSTEM "vers.dtd"><vers:VERSEncapsulatedObject xmlns:vers="http://www.prov.vic.gov.au/gservice/standard/pro. Files like these have the following tags: page, volume, index, book, bundle, plans, receiving, house and image.

The remaining 20% of all VEO files are files with no common format. These files are often connected to record, loimp or feat. If you want to find out what your VEO file contains, drag and drop it onto this page.
