The Case for Nationally Recognised Technical Specifications for Digitisation in New Zealand
Andy Fenton, Desktop Imaging founder, has recently authored a paper entitled The Case for Nationally Recognised Technical Specifications for Digitisation in New Zealand. Andy wrote the article on behalf of NZMS and Desktop Imaging. It brings attention to the shortcomings of existing legislation and practices regarding digitisation standards.
Fenton facilitates conversation on the importance and current state of nationally recognised standards in the Information and Records Management (IRM) sector. He discusses how existing legislation relates to the matter, considers how our counterparts in overseas IRM sectors approach this issue, and provides a comprehensive case for establishing nationally recognised technical specifications for digitisation.
Concluding with substantiated recommendations and contemplating where the sector may go from here, Fenton closes with a request for feedback. We encourage you to share your opinions, comments, and criticisms to further continue this conversation.
