The Digital Records Conversion Process: Program Planning, Requirements, Procedures (PDF)
This American National Standard provides requirements for ensuring that electronic records remain authentic and trustworthy as they are converted from one digital recordkeeping system to another. Though it does not address digital preservation, there is a substantial link between conversion and digital preservation, as many preservation strategies involve some type of conversion process.
Part I addresses the decisions relating to program planning and recordkeeping issues. Part II discusses the actual conversion process.
The publication includes tables, a template that draws together recordkeeping requirements, the risks/drivers impinging on the conversion process, the stages of the conversion process, and tools designed to aid records professionals and others assigned the conversion task.
Using this American National Standard in conjunction with the international standard ISO 14721:2003, Space data and information transfer systems – Open archival information system – Reference model will provide additional background and contextual information.
ANSI/ARMA 16-2007 is an American National Standard (March 1, 2007).
