  9. Records Management Classification System Reasons given for using Keyword as folder classification within an ECM: • Facilitates search • Delivers consistent and logical structure for corporate information • Enables a consistent language to be imposed on the organisation • Aligns with retention and disposal schedules

  10. Records Management Classification System ECM Search • Search within ECM is facilitated by all forms of metadata • Common user search is based on title • Business users rarely search based on RM classification terms

  11. Records Management Classification System Logical Structure • Organisational folder structures are a form of “classification system” • RM classification model does not naturally occur in organisational folder structures • Differences between RM classification terms and folder structure titles

  12. Records Management Classification System Alignment with Retention & Disposal • Function: Community Services • Activity: Planning • Subject: Community Development Local government retention schedule revealed that there was no retention period for “Planning” documents related to “Community Development

  13. Model for Classification in an ECM • Users have been successfully “classifying” electronic information for years (putting information into relevant folders) • Success of ECM underpinned by the need for users to continue successfully “classifying” electronic information (putting information in the relevant ECM container)

  14. Quote “A classification scheme [such as Keyword AAA] should not necessarily be used as a folder titling tool”. (The National Archives, UK) Source: Todd, M 2003, Business Classification Scheme Design, The National Archives, Surrey, UK.
