The availability property provides information about how to obtain offline resources. Agents are people, organisations or instruments associated with resources. The AGLS Availability Syntax Encoding Scheme is a method for describing characteristics of agents in AGLS metadata descriptions. Values for the availability property will contain information about the agent making the resource available.
Characteristics are encoded using the Dublin Core Structured Values.
AGLS describes availability or access to a resource using the characteristics defined in Table C1.
