...INTRODUCTION The purpose of this assignment is twofold. To test understanding and to demonstrate that the overall quality of my chosen sample is based on a reasoned and unbiased evaluation. I will describe my sample, highlight its ‘recordness’ against the internationally recognised standard and underline its key criteria. In so doing my aim is to make an objective comparison and simultaneously corroborate my understanding of the essence of what makes a record. First, some background. Surprisingly, despite the fact that records has been a kept by us for thousands of years it was not until relatively recently (2001) that an internationally accepted records management standard, known as ISO 15489 set out a standard definition of a record. Accordingly, a record as set out in ISO 15489, is defined as “information created, received, and maintained as evidence and information by an organization or person, in pursuance of legal obligations or in the transaction of business.” Against this definition I have chosen a record that I refer to regularly at work to test its ‘recordness’. My sample is the Foreign Office's (FCO) Archive Inventory of its paper Inventory. The FCO’s paper file inventory consists of data from both the 2013 and 2014 record audits and is a full inventory of its archive holdings and is an accurate record of the FCO corporate business activities by the various departments of the organisation and provides information of the records created and maintained in pursuant...

...In the past, 'records management' was sometimes used to refer only to the management of records which were no longer in everyday use but still needed to be kept - 'semi-current' or 'inactive' records, often stored in basements or offsite. More modern usage tends to refer to the entire 'lifecycle' of records - from the point of creation right through until their eventual disposal. The ISO 15489: 2001 standard defines records management as "The field of management responsible for the efficient and systematic control of the creation, receipt, maintenance, use and disposition of records, including the processes for capturing and maintaining evidence of and information about business activities and transactions in the form of records". The ISO defines records as "information created, received, and maintained as evidence and information by an organization or person, in pursuance of legal obligations or in the transaction of business". The International Council on Archives (ICA) Committee on Electronic Records defines a record as "a recorded information produced or received in the initiation, conduct or completion of an institutional or individual activity and that comprises content, context and structure sufficient to provide evidence of the activity." The key word in these definitions is evidence. Put simply, a record can be defined as "evidence of an event". Records Management is the storage preservation and retrieval of information in the shortest possible time.(MUDD) Records management...

Within UWV a Customer Relations Office and Virtual Front Office is working towards achieving the objectives of e-government. The department of Document and Information Management (DIM) is playing a pivotal role in laying the foundation to support the Virtual Front Office, by making all case related information digitally available and accessible. This paper emphasizes the responsibility of the Department of Document and Information Management (DIM) in supporting the transformation at UWV in the field of input-, output and records management. Both the issues of technology and human-resource management are discussed. Current developments within the organisation and specifically within the Department of DIM are focused upon ensuring a high-quality workforce. 1. Introduction ...
