As far as I know the records life cycle was first put down on paper by
Philip Brooks in the USA in April 1940, when he drew out the components
of the life cycle concept in preparation for a paper on records
preservation.
(American Archivist, October 1940).
What Brooks was clearly considering, though, was the creation and
preservation of archives.
The life cycle appears to have stuck, and as a concept has been utilised
over the years by records managers and information managers to focus on
the management and destruction of records.
But as the Computerworld article points out, the ILM argument
encompasses other issues, like preservation and access over time, that
the lifecycle fails to address.
As most archivists will tell you, these issues are part of the Continuum
model. Is this the next buzzword?

The long link broke. Use this one:

No question "lifecycle" has been around for decades--the article
illustrates how the term's been abused.

The link for the article does not work. However, the "lifecycle" of
records, or "information lifecycle" has been around for many decades.
No matter what anybody chooses to call it, or does not acknowledge it,
it still exists.
I am sure the vendors will have new buzzwords soon...; and try to sell
a warmed over system to suckers.

ILM may only have a four-year lifecycle

How quickly storage vendors want to forget fighting over who actually
coined the phrase Information Lifecycle Management. Huh? Did we do
that?

Well, I guess that's the death nell for ILM. Beware, the next big
thing/new buzzword is just around the corner.
