ISO 13527:2010定义了如何将数据和元数据（包括软件）打包到单个包（例如文件或消息）中，以便于信息传输和归档。 ISO 13527:2010还提供了核心封装结构和机制的详细规范，这些结构和机制适应当前的计算环境，满足不断发展的需求，并且可以实施，以展示实际的短期结果。 ISO 13527:2010适用于整个空间信息学领域，从操作信息传递到与科学档案的接口。

ISO 13527:2010 defines how the packaging of data and metadata, including software, can be put into a single package (e.g. file or message) in order to facilitate information transfer and archiving. ISO 13527:2010 also provides a detailed specification of core packaging structures and mechanisms, which accommodate the current computing environment and meet evolving requirements, and which can be implemented to demonstrate practical, near-term results. ISO 13527:2010 is applicable to the entire space informatics domain, from operational messaging to interfacing with science archives.
