Electronic Records Management

The paper presents an overview of the strategic documents, legal regulations and activities of the Croatian archival service of the past decades related to electronic records. Issues dealing with the development and implementation of e-archives and electronic records management are mostly related to e-government, and the ability of Croatian archives to collect, process and manage electronic born documentation is still an entirely open question that is waiting to be accessed in a systematic way. The draft of the new archives law proposal attempts to establish a legal framework for long-term protection of electronic records, which should be followed with specific measures and activities to resolve current problems in archives - lack of funding, strategic partnership and competencies for dealing with electronic records and implementation of e-archive system.

Electronic Records Management

Rand Water was one of the earliest institutions to introduce electronic records management in 1991. Over the period of three decades, there have been numerous changes at the institution, and within the South African legal framework, there is a need to transfer the digital records into archival custody. However, there is no infrastructure to ingest digital records into archival custody. This poses challenges to institutions such as Rand Water as they are forced to create an interim solution for electronic records preservation. The challenge is compounded by the fact that since implementing electronic systems, Rand Water has migrated to several products. There is a danger that some records might have been lost during migration. This chapter narrates on the electronic record-keeping within Rand Water from yesteryear to today in order to map the way for the future. It has established that Rand Water has implemented several ECMs and migrated to different products over the years. A further study on data loss and recoverability during migration to the different ECMs is recommended.

Long Term Preservation

PurposeThe purpose of this paper to describe the research work on the long‐term preservation of Chinese digital information funded by National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC) since 2001.Design/methodology/approachThe paper provides an overview, in text and figures, of ways in which e‐documents originating in China, in now obsolete formats, can be made readable again. Also, results of a recent survey of electronic records management in government and corporations are given.FindingsThe lifecycle management gap with respect to electronic records is highlighted and the main factors that restrict the Chinese anti‐disaster data backup plan are analysed. It is suggested that the data backup centre which can be accepted by small medium enterprises should be the e‐government disaster recovery centre for local government.Originality/valueAll the research results are useful for those who need to understand the long‐term preservation of Chinese digital information and electronic records management.

Electronic Records Management

The South African cabinet adopted policy recommendations from the Government Information Technology Officer's Council pertaining to Free and Open-Source Software (FOSS). Even though the South African Cabinet has shown support for the use of FOSS through the enactment of a policy, the adoption of open source software in electronic records management seems to be slow. Proprietary software continues to be adopted and used by most public institutions, including local and provincial municipalities in South Africa. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate factors that may influence the adoption and use of FOSS for electronic records management by South African municipalities. The study adopted a qualitative research approach to collect data from 10 purposively selected municipalities in Gauteng. Data were analysed and presented thematically to address the research question. The findings of this study suggest that municipalities in Gauteng are not adopting FOSS for electronic records management as expected. This study established that top management support, reliability, affordability of the software, inadequate capability, contracts with proprietary software providers, organisational culture and organisational support are some of the factors that contributed to the low uptake when it comes to the adoption of Free and Open-Source Software by the municipalities.

The Way

The management of electronic records and documents seems to be very developed in Romania. Mostly under UE financing, a lot of institutions implemented modern systems and digitized legacy paper records. Pertinent pieces of legislation were adopted (time-stamp, electronic signature and even an electronic archiving act) and this might create an image of proper regulated environment. But a closer look to the facts shows that proper electronic records management lacks almost completely. The paper will look into details about the way modern archives are prepared for the future.

<p>The SIALH project aims to set up the Information System of the Alhambra, considered as tool for the knowledge, management and dissemination of the Monument, considered World Heritage by UNESCO. Based on a Geographic Information System (GIS), SIALH integrates thematic databases, process management systems and electronic records management systems on a common framework. The methodology used in the project follows the standard Metrica v3 for software developments. SIALH is built using free software and ensures interoperability. In addition to software development, SIALH involves other projects such as the geocoding of the Alhambra, new maps and orthophotos and the publication of augmented reality of the Alhambra.</p>
