  - A pseudo-structure for storing metadata about the document. See [The Header
    and Trailer] for more details.

    The header pseudo-structure provides metadata about the entire dataset. A few
    substructures of note:
    
    - `GEDC` identifies the specification that this document conforms to. It is
      recommended that `GEDC` be the first substructure of the header.
    - `SCHMA` gives the meaning of extension tags; see [Extensions] for more
      details.
    - `SOUR` describes the originating software.
      - `CORP` describes the corporation creating the software.
      - `HEAD`.`SOUR`.`DATA` describes a larger database, electronic data source,
        or digital repository this data is extracted from.
    - `LANG` and `PLAC` give a default value for the rest of the document.
    
    <div class="deprecation">
    
    `HEAD`.`SOUR`.`DATA` is now deprecated and applications should use
    `HEAD`.`SOUR`.`NAME` instead.
