Archives steps in for 2020 policy targets
The National Archives of Australia has developed two new products to help Departments and Agencies meet their Digital Continuity 2020 policy targets.
The two easy-to-use products have been named the Business System Assessment Framework and the Minimum Metadata Set.
In a statement, Archives said the two products would help Agencies ensure their information, systems and processes were interoperable, and enable their information to be found, managed, shared and re-used easily and efficiently.
New products help with Digital Continuity
It said the initiatives were part of the digital transformation program that would make Government services simpler, faster and easier to use, and also reduce unnecessary duplication.
“The Business Systems Assessment Framework ensures that information in business systems is well managed,” the Archives said.
“It recognises that not all information is of equal value and business systems which manage high risk, high value information need a more extensive assessment than systems that manage low risk records.”
It said the Minimum Metadata Set provided a simple guide to tagging and identifying essential information.
“This supports the management, interoperability and transfer of information within and between Agencies, including records which will be transferred to the National Archives.”
