RE: [egov-comment] Records Management project

This is bouncing from the egov-comment list so have added the eGov Member Section in.

I think the Records Management paper is on our 'wish list' and if I recall correctly was to focus on harmonisation of ontologies and standards.

  

There is related work going on outside OASIS, and I would point to UN/CEFACT TBG19 eGov for example, its eArchiving project. 

 

I would do plenty of research to dig out the work in other SDO's before launching forth with a separate initiative.  I have this feeling there already is an OASIS group in a related area (albeit with a US focus) but cannot recall its name without more time to research.  And I think the EU already has project in this area?  I always favour adding to existing work than further complicating the standards world even more than it already I by starting something new, because it just ends up confusing folks and causes more harmonisation and interop work down the line.

 

Cheers

Colin

My own view is that the e-gov section should be interested in this. If there is suitable work going on outside OASIS, we should be monitoring and probably contributing to it. If not, then I think there should be an OASIS TC. It is not a specific interest of mine, but it is a big issue for any Government.

We just have started the analysis of a new (huge) government records managenemt system (for a European Regional Government). Althought many and heterogenous standards and best practices have been identified about critical parts of records management (Business and Functional Requirements, Process and Information Models) we also discovered areas for modelling that have not been covered at all or at least not in a methodological/harmonized way.

 

We found that records management is mentioned in the OASIS e-Government TC home page (Records Management - Proposal paper submitted to TC) but we have not been able to find any development or work on this within OASIS in general nor within the e-Government TC.

 

Questions:

 

1) Are you aware of any progress on this matter inside OASIS?

2) Would you agree that Records Mamangament should/could become an own TC Committee?

 

 

Thanks.
