Purpose
This Implementation Profile for Information Resource Metadata (HTML Encoding), also known as IRM-HTML, defines detailed specifications for using HyperText Markup Language (HTML) to encode information resource metadata in compliance with the approved Intelligence Community Standard (ICS) for Information Resource Metadata. This Implementation Profile defines the meta name/content attribute pairs captured in an HTML header, mandatory and cardinality requirements, and permissible values for representing the information resource metadata concepts in HTML.
Needs and Requirements
The Intelligence Community has embraced the Internet and Web 2.0 in a significant way across multiple security networks. Web browsers, search engines, and social networking tools are all heavily reliant on HTML as a simple language for encoding intelligence content for presentation to both humans and services. Even though the Internet, desktop publishing tools, and service-oriented architectures are transitioning to more sophisticated data formats with more capable internal metadata structures, there continues to be a need for standard HTML representations. In particular, a consistent application of information resource metadata in HTML products will facilitate human and service discovery, processing, and display of information resources in a web-based environment.
