=========================================
Description
=========================================

The AGLS module extends the Meta tags (http://drupal.org/project/metatag) module
to add AGLS Metadata Standard tags.

The AGLS Metadata Standard is a set of descriptive properties to improve
visibility and availability of online resources.


=========================================
Meta tags
=========================================

* AGLSTERMS.act
* AGLSTERMS.aggregationLevel
* AGLSTERMS.availability
* AGLSTERMS.case
* AGLSTERMS.category
* AGLSTERMS.dateLicenced
* AGLSTERMS.documentType
* AGLSTERMS.function
* AGLSTERMS.jurisdiction
* AGLSTERMS.mandate
* AGLSTERMS.protectiveMarking
* AGLSTERMS.regulation
* AGLSTERMS.rightsHolder
* AGLSTERMS.spatial
* AGLSTERMS.temporal


=========================================
Meta tag obligation in AGLS compliance
=========================================

The AGLS standard states that metadata properties fall into one of four
obligation categories:
* Mandatory
 - dcterms:creator
 - dcterms:title
 - dcterms:date (a related term may be substituted)
* Conditional
 - aglsterms:availability (mandatory for offline resources)
 - dcterms:identifier (mandatory for online resources)
 - dcterms:publisher (mandatory for information resources - optional for
   descriptions of services)
* Recommended
 - aglsterms:function (if dcterms:subject is not used)
 - dcterms:description
 - dcterms:language (where the language of the resource is not English)
 - dcterms:subject (if aglsterms:function is not used)
 - dcterms:type
* Optional
 - All other properties are optional.
