Dear DC-Gov, 
The UK's e-Government Metadata Standard (e-GMS) has been redrafted to
reflect a change in the mandated encoding scheme for its Subject
element. Editorial comments, examples and syntax have also been revised
throughout the Standard, in line with current guidance and preferred
practice.
A draft version of e-GMS is currently available for consultation on the
GovTalk site at: 
http://www.govtalk.gov.uk/schemasstandards/metadata_document.asp?docnum=
997

We welcome your comments on the draft. Please submit them to
mailto:govtalk at cabinet-office.x.gsi.gov.uk
