2 Recordkeeping Functional Specifications
Specification 1 is only concerned with those recordkeeping functions that support long-term preservation of electronic records. A recordkeeping system has to satisfy many other requirements in order to be useable. Several organisations have published general requirements for recordkeeping systems. These include:
- Model Requirements for the Management of Electronic Records (MoReq), European Commission, 2001, http://www.cornwell.co.uk/moreq (visited 26 February 2003).
- Functional requirements for Electronic Records Management Systems, Public Record Office (UK), 2002, http://www.pro.gov.uk/recordsmanagement/erecords/2002reqs/default.htm (visited 10 February 2003).
- Design Criteria Standard for Electronic Records Management Software Applications, DoD 5015.2-STD, (US) Defense Information Systems Agency, June 2002, http://jitc.fhu.disa.mil/recmgt/standards.htm (visited 10 February 2003).
The PROV does not specifically recommend any of these function specifications. Agencies should carefully consider their suitability for their purposes. In particular, it should be noted that none of these functional specifications are built around a VERS solution.
