'''Standard Architecture for Universal Comment Extensions''' or '''''SAUCE''''', as it is most commonly known, is an open [[metadata (computing)|metadata]] protocol for tagging and describing [[ASCII]] text files and other files, most of which generally center on or date back to the era of [[Bulletin board system|BBS]]ing. SAUCE is very similar in nature to the [[MP3]] [[ID3|ID3 tag]] format created in 1996 in that it carries metadata such as the title, author (artist), organization (group), as well as specific hierarchical datatype information depending on what type of file it is describing.

The SAUCE protocol was invented and developed by the [[Belgium|Belgian]] programmer known by the [[pseudonym]] ''Tasmaniac'' of [[ACiD Productions|ACiD]],<ref name="Reubens_2013_SAUCE"/> who later went on to create the [[XBin]] image format, in 1994, two years before ID3 was established. The first utility created to add SAUCE descriptions to files was named ''SPOON''.
