Marc,
Many thanks for the clarification.
Interesting that it originated in the
I was aware that the concept and term has
been in use across the pond for many years in relation to the Federal
requirements for identifying and managing records as distinct from non-records
and have heard it referred to as such by colleagues there. I guess we must have
exported it!!
Regards,
Eldin.

Liz,
As far as the phrase goes, my recollection
is that we settled on it as a group while working on the (then) PRO/CCTA
"Functional Requirements for EDRMS" in about 1999. There was no
preferred phrase in use at that time that everyone agreed on.
I'd be amazed if the source of the idea of
deciding whether something should or should not be a record actually originates
from an American CFR, but I could be mistaken...

Subject: Declaring a record -
origin?
We are
writing an information governance framework to sit alongside our new
information policies. Does anyone know the genesis of the specific concept of
“declaring a record”? Is there any legislative, regulatory or other
source or mandate? In particular, the phrase itself and associated meaning,
rather the concept of a document becoming a record.
Regards,
Liz
