Australian Government Locator Service
Australian Government Locator Service (AGLS) is a metadata standard used to describe Australian government resources. It was created by the National Archives of Australia and published for the public by Standards Australia as AS 5044:2002, later reissued as AS 5044-2010 on 30 June 2010. Some Australian government agencies use AGLS to describe online resources and services. AGLS is an application profile of the Dublin Core metadata standard. In December 2022, the National Archives of Australia announced plans to decommission the AGLS website by the end of 2023 and to rescind its mandatory use by government agencies. The AGLS website has been archived by the National Library of Australia and remains available on Trove.
