国际标准82045的这一部分规定了定义元数据的原则和方法，用于在对象的整个生命周期中管理与对象相关联的文档；此周期通常涵盖从文档的概念构思到删除文档的范围。既定的原则和方法是所有文档管理系统的基础。本部分旨在作为所有应用领域的通用基本标准，并提供适用于第2部分的框架。国际标准82045主要是作为电子文档管理系统(EDMS)或产品数据管理系统(PDMS)等计算机化系统中使用的资源，用于文档的管理、检索、存储、选择和归档，并作为文档交换的基础。注-国际标准82045的第2部分提供了与信息参考模型相关联的数据元素类型的集合，其可以与文档上元数据的呈现结合使用。

This part of International Standard 82045 specifies principles and methods to define metadata for the management of documents associated with objects throughout their life cycle; This cycle generally covers a range from the conceptual idea of a document to its deletion. The established principles and methods are basic for all document management systems.

This part is intended as a general basic standard in all application fields and provides the framework applicable for part 2.

International Standard 82045 is primarily intended as a resource for the use in computerised systems such as Electronic Document Management Systems (EDMS) or Product Data Management Systems (PDMS) for the management, retrieval, storage and selection and archiving of documents, and as a basis for the exchange of documents.
NOTE – Part 2 of International Standard 82045 provides the collection of data element types associated with an
information reference model, which may be used in conjunction with the presentation of metadata on documents.
