a technologically neutral approach to government
records evaluation and disposition, the paper
will discuss macroappraisal in light of the
challenges presented by the Digital Age (including
social transformation and new information
and communications media) and assess whether
this new ‘socio-technology context’ requires any
corresponding philosophic or methodological
changes to the current strategy. It will also examine
the development and implementation of new
public management (NPM) through new business
architecture and collaborative governance
models within the Government of Canada, and
what this potentially means for recordkeeping
and the disposition of public sector information.
In particular, the paper will consider the ongoing
transition of the public administration of government
from a ‘command and control’ activitybased
to a results-based, collaborative and information-intensive
organization; how this transition
is changing corporate culture and ‘behaviours’
at all levels within government; and what
adjustments to macro-appraisal strategy and its
expected outcomes may be required from various
‘documentary’ perspectives.
Keywords: macro-appraisal; archive; library;
public sector information; digital information;
digital collections; information resources;
new public management; public
administration.

Digital repositories: applying the OAIS model
and metadata schemas to archival heritage
preservation
With the electronic environment the intervention
of the archivist position in the documentation
process has changed, it makes sense and participation
in the planning and creation of records.
But the introduction and development of information
systems in institutions as a means to disseminate
digital materials are often confused
with the processes of preservation of records and
resolved in a timely manner and not integrated.
Sometimes for lack of resources and other for
lack of planning and even for lack of experience
or knowledge specialized. ?Research in electronic
records management has highlighted the distinction
between records and other forms of information
and pointed out that the records are
valued because they provide evidence of the
facts, transactions and decisions that can be used
to verify or compare what happened immediately
or as much what happened after the events
happen. OAIS provides a model to fulfill its responsibility
to preserve information and make it
available to a particular community and metadata
as inseparable and essential elements for the
treatment and description of records or objects,
which are the basis of archival heritage.
