Information and documentation - Principles and functional requirements for records in electronic office environments - Part 2: Guidelines and functional requirements for digital records management systems
A fundamental underlying principle is the distinction between business informationsystems (business systems) and electronic records management systems. Businesssystems contain data that is commonly subject to constant updates (dynamic), able tobe transformed (manipulable) and only contain current data (non-redundant). Bycontrast, electronic records management systems contain data that is not dynamicallylinked to business activity (fixed), unable to be altered (inviolable), and may be noncurrent(redundant). Therefore business systems are beyond the scope of this Module(see Module 3: Guidelines and Functional Requirements for Records in Business Systems).The
