If so, Lifelong Learning UK, the sector skills body for the Libraries, Archives and Information Services Workforce, would like to invite you to participate in the development of new National Occupational Standards. These standards provide a national benchmark for the specialist skills, knowledge and understanding required by the workforce to operate effectively in the modern knowledge and information environment.

We are holding a series of consultation events, and would like to invite you to attend one. Events will be held as follows: * Peterborough - Tuesday 24th April (book by 17th April) * Manchester - Thursday 26th April (book by 19th April) * York - Tuesday 1st May (book by 24th April) * London - Tuesday 8th May (book by 1st May) * Taunton - Friday 11th May (book by 4th May) * Belfast - Tuesday 15th May (book by 8th May) * Sheffield - Thursday 17th May (book by 10th May) * Birmingham - Tuesday 22nd May (book by 15th May) * Glasgow - Thursday 24th May (book by 17th May) * Llandrindod Wells - Wednesday 6th June (book by 30th May) For more information and a booking form, please see the events page on our website at http://www.lluk.org/events/events_index.html.

I have never seen a scheme which reduces all the complexities of status / version to a simple numerical scheme. Status is too complex. You may need to distinguish working drafts from consultation drafts from final drafts etc. Anyone considering this should look at the status element of eGMS. Interestingly although eGMS amalgamates this in a rather ad hoc way it refers to the IEEE LOM Status Encoding Scheme which clearly has separate metadata elements for status and version -page 16 of the following document. http://ltsc.ieee.org/wg12/files/LOM_1484_12_1_v1_Final_Draft.pdf Phillip Bradshaw Information Manager Clerk to the Council Room 111, County Hall EMail: [log in to unmask] <mailto:[log in to unmask]> Phone: 029 2087 3346 Mobile : 07779 284684 Fax: 029 2087 3349 Proactive Publishing Promotes Positive Perceptions ________________________________ From: The UK Records Management mailing list [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Liz Scott-Wilson Sent: 22 March 2007 13:55 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: Version Control When I have written policies/guidelines for version control - in particular versioning within the document title - I usually reference "best practice" rather than any standard. Version naming conventions such as 1.0, 2.0 being for major changes and 1.1, 1.2 1.3 being minor changes etc are easily understood by users and if mandated won't run into much of the way of objection. However, many people use 1_0 or v1 or v.1 or v1_0 - and a multitude of variations. This is different from considering document status such as DRAFT - again if you're having to use the document title then best practice is all you can rely on. However if you are not using the document title and are instead using metadata (or properties or attributes etc) then you can constrain the choice people have in both versioning and status through a controlled vocabulary. Of course, if you can do this then you probably have some sort of DMS! I have also noticed that uploading documents to some repositories or software (in our case SharePoint 2003) can reject file names with certain characters such as . - which means considering underscores instead. Good luck.

We have recently discovered that there is a huge difference in the was version controls are added to documents across the authority. Admittedly in the absence of any corporate guidance users/creators have applied their own logic. There is a difficulty understanding what is meant by the terms 'draft' and 'version 1/2/3', etc. If there is a standard, defintion or useful guide I would be grateful if someone could point me in the right direction.
