Another aspect in communication is the ability to describe a process. This means explaining records management practices systematically in a logical manner. This is important as it helps us to learn the concepts and terminologies that are used when describing certain processes. But more importantly, it helps us to have elaborate thought processes and understanding of records and archives management practices and procedures.

For your fist assignment, describe the process of management of e-records within an electronic records management system (ERMS). This means describing all processes that take place from the time a record is generated within the system (born digital) or scanned into the system, to its management including access privileges, security, up until it is archived or preserved within the system.

Your description should include the following records and archives terminologies:

Ingestion

Functionality

born digital

workflow/business processes

metadata

hierarchical classification

file format

Audit Trail

integration

Authentic

Authentication

End users

Authorized users

Digital signatures

fire walls/ passwords

To get more ideas on the operation of an ERMS, kindly read the Archival Science encyclopedia that is already uploaded in the content section.

Your essay should not be more than 800 words.
