Standard for the Management of Electronic Records PROS 99/007 (Version 1)

The Standard for the Management of Electronic Records is a major achievement and will aid the Victorian Government to realise good information management as well as maintaining the digital records of the state.

The Standard details the primary requirements for the management and preservation of electronic records in the Victorian public sector. It has three specifications which provide technical detail about the long term preservation of electronic records, the requirements necessary for records management systems which maintain electronic records and the metadata required for the proper management and retention of electronic records.

PROS 99/007 Standard for the Management of Electronic Records has been produced as a result of research completed as part of the VERS Project. It consists of a Standard along with three specifications.

The specifications for electronic records are designed to ensure uniformity in record structure and management without limiting a public office's choice in systems and support processes for business activity. The first specification (PROS 99/007 Specification 1 System Requirements for Archiving Electronic Records) defines the formal system requirements and structure required for record types produced in electronic systems compliant with this standard.

The second specification, PROS 99/007 Specification 2 VERS Metadata Scheme, defines the metadata requirements for such systems.

The third Specification, PROS 99/007 Specification 3 VERS Standard Electronic Record Format, provides the recommended standard long term electronic format for VERS compliant systems and a number of technical specifications which support this format.
