Recordkeeping Metadata Development Committee
Introduction
The Recordkeeping Metadata Development Committee (RMDC) was formed in February 2001 upon the recommendation of the Recordkeeping Metadata Study Committee. The RMDC reported to the state's Information Policy Council (IPC) and was charged with developing a Minnesota-specific recordkeeping metadata scheme using the National Archives of Australia's Recordkeeping Metadata Standard for Commonwealth Agencies as a model. The committee's work was completed in May 2002 with the IPC's acceptance of the Minnesota Recordkeeping Metadata Standard (IRM 20).
