About
This standard sets out the minimum compliance requirements for NSW public offices for defining their digital records, digital recordkeeping system functionality and the creation and management of recordkeeping metadata for digital records.
The purpose of this standard is to establish minimum requirements for digital recordkeeping in the New South Wales public sector to enable NSW public offices to implement digital recordkeeping systems that will support business efficiency and organisational accountability. The standard is structured in three sections with nine requirements for achieving basic recordkeeping functionality in the digital information environment. Each section includes a number of requirements with statements on the benefits of complying and the risks of not complying, and minimum compliance requirements. Sources of further guidance and sample metadata mappings are also provided.
This standard replaces Standard No. 4 Standard on Recordkeeping in the Electronic Business Environment (issued 29 December 2000) and Part 1 of Standard No. 5 of the New South Wales Recordkeeping Metadata Standard (issued 29 June 2001). Standard No. 4 and Standard No. 5 are available from https://www.opengov.nsw.gov.au/
This standard has been replaced by Standard No. 12 Standard on records management.
