RIF-CS (Registry Interchange Format – Collections and Services)

The Registry Interchange Format – Collections and Services (RIF-CS) schema was developed as a data interchange format for supporting the electronic exchange of collection and service descriptions. It is a profile of ISO 2146, an information model for registry services for libraries and related organisations, adapting it for use in the research data context.

It was originally developed by the Australian National Data Service for use with Research Data Australia and the Research Data Australia Registry.
