“…In regard to the managerial system of the concerned case, the ERMS was designed as a platform for specialized semi-active RM functions which would be segregated from the whole process of document and RM flow, with a developer different from that of the EDMS, which lead to challenges in cooperation between the developers to establish digital continuity. In this case, improvements in the information quality should rely on the shared standards, through the placement of the series of standards into the context of records continuum and metadata governance on the foundation of the information quality assessment models (Gorla et al , 2010; Lee et al , 2002; Zavalina et al , 2016).…”

Purpose The purpose of this study is to explore the mechanisms underlying the transformation of records management (RM) to digital processes in the context of electronic records management systems (ERMS). The aim is to facilitate the evaluation of the long-term performance of ERMS and the effectiveness of the current standards. Design/methodology/approach Qualitative methods, such as participant observation and the constructivist grounded theory, were applied on a case of ERMS implementation in the Chinese public sector. Findings The results revealed that the application of transition-oriented ERMS would stimulate restructuring in the RM pattern and expectation on the functions of ERMS, with information quality underlying as a key challenging factor. The above-stated factors together drive the digital transformation of RM. A model for this mechanism is provided in the present study. Research limitations/implications The selected case serves as an example for the cases that are not conditional on enforcing the electronic documents and RMS. As preliminary research, only one case has been studied here. However, it is possible to conduct other case studies to develop a further understanding of the transformation process. Originality/value The novelty of the present study is that it draws attention to the challenges encountered in moving RM towards digital transformation, by providing a theoretical foundation for developing sustainable evaluations of the ERMS and the associated current standards.

Information community creates, maintains and shares authority data through large‐scale databases of standardized digital records that describe persons, institutions, places, events, and works, as well as relations between them. This submission presents some results of the content analysis study that explores the authority data change over time in response to change in standards. We analysed over 400 thousand of authority records that comply to the new standard, Resource Description and Access (RDA) and are available through the OCLC database. Records were obtained at two data collection points, with an interval of 22 months. Our analysis identified RDA‐based authority data elements that are widely applied and the ones that need more attention by record creators. Findings reveal a significant increase over time in the level of application of some data elements, including several of the Linked Data‐enabling elements. This study contributes to the understanding of metadata change and its relation to functionality of authority records and improved information access. Directions for future research are suggested.

Study reported in this paper analyzed over twenty thousand machine-readable library metadata records in MARC 21 bibliographic format that are based on Resource Description and Access (RDA) standard. The focus of this analysis is on change in subject metadata-data elements designed for representing the aboutness of information objectsover a 6-year period between 2014 and 2020. The analyzed dataset is the entire population of the records representing English-language video recordings in DVD format in WorldCat database as of one year after official transition to RDA data content standard in library metadata creation. Analysis of metadata representing audiovisual materials is needed as audiovisual metadata practices tend to differ from those for other materials due to high occurrence of unique resources. The study includes quantitative and qualitative analyses into the change in the application of data elements (fields and subfields) over time and categorizes the observed change.
