Please, excuse cross-postings.
As background for a national discussion paper, I am trying to locate
references to comparative law studies on electronic records in different
traditions, as well as acts, regulations, etc., and at different levels:
national, state, federal, etc. Although I have some texts, references
would be welcomed, and I would be extremely grateful if I could find a
way to access them. Topics I should discuss, from a legal point of view,
include: what an electronic record is, what an electronic file (or case
file) is, what is evidence in a digital environment, how electronic
signatures should be handled, why metadata are important, why making and
record-keeping processes (including appraisal, classification, capture,
access, disposal, etc.) are important and how they should be executed in
a digital environment, etc. Critically, why all of this is important in
a distributed framework of interoperability (I mean, why it is important
if several governments must interact at a global level).
I am aware these questions sound quite silly, in a technical and
scholar environment, but I have to make my argument against bureaucrats
and politicians, not archivists and records managers, and in order to
allow them to understand why a good electronic recordkeeping act is
essential and beyond corporate interests. Hence, my interest in knowing
how other traditions solved the problem.
Thank you very much in advance
best
