CA VERS has two major goals: the preservation of electronic records and enabling efficient management in doing so. Version 2 has an improved structure, additional metadata elements, requirements for preservation and compliance requirements for agencies. ÔÇ£ExportÔÇØ compliance allows agencies to maintain their records within their own recordkeeping systems and add a module so they can generate the VERS format for export, especially for long term preservation. ÔÇ£NativeÔÇØ complicance is when records are converted to long term preservation format upon registration which is seen as the ideal approach.
