Abstract

This in-depth analysis highlights (by category) significant record keeping tools, techniques, and information sources developed around the world to jump start digital records initiatives and avoid developing tools and techniques that are already available. This report covers general characteristics of freedom of information (FOI), e-Government and ICT strategy development, as well as barriers to the successful integration of electronic records management in each area. It identifies strategies to overcome these barriers based on detailed examination of the components of the records management infrastructure.
