This study group is offered as a service of DAMA New England for DAMA New England
members. It not an official, DAMA International authorized training course because DAMA-I has
not yet created an authorized trainer program.
The purpose of this group is to help prepare members to take the CDMP. We will do so by
reviewing the content of chapters of the DMBOK2.
The chapter makes no claims for the effectiveness of the sessions or the ability of participants to
pass the CDMP exam after having attended. In fact, you should plan on doing a lot of individual
study to pass the exam.
Goals:
1. To comply with legal obligations and customer expectations regarding records management
2. To ensure effective and efficient storage, retrieval and use of documents and content
3. To ensure integration capabilities between structured and unstructured content
Gaining efficiencies:
• Streamline processes
• Manage workflow
• Eliminate manual repetitive tasks
• Enable collaboration
• Enable people to locate, access, and share documents more quickly
• Prevent loss of documents
• Save money by freeing up file cabinet space and reducing document handling costs
TAXONOMY ONTOLOGY
According to Bob Bater, “an ontology identifies and distinguishes concepts and their relationships; it describes content
and relationships. A taxonomy formalizes the hierarchical relationships among concepts and specifies the term to be
used to refer to each; it prescribes structure and terminology.”
Reference 1
Taxonomies classify; ontologies specify
Reference 2
Document Management: encompasses the processes, techniques, and technologies for controlling, and organizing documents and records
throughout their lifecycle. Managing the lifecycle includes:
• Inventory
• Policy
• Classification
• Storage
• Retrieval and circulation
• Preservation and Disposal
Records Management: Managing records has special requirements. Well-prepared records have characteristics such as:
• Content: Must be accurate, complete and truthful
• Context: Descriptive information (i.e. metadata) should be kept (e.g. record’s creator, date of creation)
• Timeliness: A record should be created soon after the event, action, or decision occurs
• Permanency: Once designated as a record, it cannot be changed for the legal length of its existence
• Structure: Should be recorded on the correct form or template
Digital Asset Management: Similar to document management but focused on rich media such as video, logos, photographs.
E-discovery: Discovery is the legal term that refers to the pre-trial phase of a lawsuit where both parties request information
from each other to find facts for the case and to see how strong the arguments are on either side. The US Federal Rules for Civil
Procedure (FRCP) have governed the discovery of evidence in lawsuits and other civil cases since 1938. In 2006, amendments to
the FRCP accommodated the discovery practice and requirements of ESI in the litigation process. The Electronic Discovery
Reference Model was developed by EDRM, a standards and guidelines organization for e-discovery. This framework provides an
approach to e-discovery.
Search Engine: Software that searches for information based on terms and retrieves web sites that have those terms within their
content.
Semantic Model: Is a user’s perspective of the data and enables these users to ask questions of the information in a non-
technical way. Semantic models can map database tables and views to concepts that are meaningful to business users. They
contain semantic objects and bindings.
Semantic Search: A search mechanism that focuses on meaning and context rather than predetermined keywords (e.g. location,
intent, word variations, synonyms, concept matching). Business Intelligence and Analytics tools often have semantic search
requirements.
• Document Management System used to track and store electronic documents and images of paper documents
o Digital Asset Management (e.g. audio, video, music, digital photos)
o Image Processing (e.g. scanning, optical and intelligent character recognition, form processing)
o Records Management Systems
Automation of retention and disposal
E-discovery support
Long-term archiving
Vital records program to retain critical business records
Standard Markup and Exchange Formats: Facilitate the sharing od data across information systems and the Internet
• XML (eXtensible Markup Language)
• JSON (JavaScript Object Notation)
• RDF (Resource Description Framework) and Related W3C Specifications
• Schema.org: Provides a collection of shared vocabularies or schemas for on-page markup so that major search engines can
understand them.
E-discovery Technology
Proliferation of Information:
• Unstructured data grows much faster than structured data; this adds to
the challenge of governance.
• E-discovery:
o Cost reduction is a common KPI
• ECM: Should be both tangible (e.g. increased productivity, cost reduction, improved information quality,
improved compliance) and intangible (e.g. improved collaboration, simplification of job routines and
workflows). Examples include:
o Program
o Operational
o Storage utilization
o Search retrieval performance
o Financial
o Customer
o Training
o Risk Mitigation
