The MoReq Specification is now available for
download from http://www.cornwell.co.uk/moreq
It is due to be
available on various European web sites, listed within the specification; and
will be published in paper form later this year.
The MoReq Specification
is a model specification of requirements for Electronic Records Management
Systems (ERMS). The specification was developed by Cornwell Affiliates plc for the
European Commission’s IDA
(Interchange of Data between Administrations) initiative.
It
has designed to be easily used, and to be applicable throughout
Europe. It is intended to be useful for
potential ERMS users: as a basis for preparing an invitation to
tender;
ERMS users: as
a basis for auditing or checking an existing ERMS;
training
organisations: as a reference document for preparing recordsmanagement
training, and as course material;
academic institutions: as a
teaching resource;
ERMS suppliers and developers: to guide product
development by highlighting functionality required;
record management
service providers: to guide the nature of the services to be provided;
potential users of outsourced record management services: as an aid
in specifying the services to be procured.
