'Discovery and innovation: action research within communities of practice'
Dr Joanne Evans, Research Fellow, eScholarship Research Centre, The
University of Melbourne, Australia.
The challenge of ensuring the authenticity and integrity of records in digital
and networked environments is having a profound impact on the recordkeeping
profession. With methods based on paper recordkeeping models unable to cope
with the exigencies of recordkeeping in electronic environments, innovation in
theory, research, practice and tools has become paramount. This presentation
will outline the use of action research in the Clever Recordkeeping Metadata
Project (http://www.infotech.monash.edu.au/research/groups/rcrg/crkm/).
This research project brought together researchers and practitioners to
investigate requirements for recordkeeping metadata interoperability through
the attempted iterative development of a demonstrator of how standards-
compliant metadata could be created once in particular application
environments, then used many times to meet a range of business and
recordkeeping purposes. Through the systems development process and
reflective evaluation of the prototypes, insights into how both recordkeeping
metadata practices and models should be developed were gained, thus
progressing both theoretical understandings and their instantiation in
processes, technologies and tools. A key outcome from the project was the
need to foster such research partnerships for further discovery and innovation.
