Thanks, guys, for the responses - you've actually changed my mind on some
of this in a very succinct way.
Regarding the EDMS/ERMS interface, in my opinion the record copy concept
still applies - it is the most complete version, regardless of whether it
has been declared as a "record" or not.
Regarding dynamic databases, I would have responded that perhaps this is
IT's responsibility. However, lately we have been doing a lot of work with
IT on identifying and disposing of legacy databases. Out of that has come a
realization that they really don't understand the content of the databases
they are managing, or even its provenance - its just data. I can see
Records Management systematically incorporating such content information
into a records and disposition schedule for discovery purposes, as the
content information has to reside somewhere. I can even see IT benefiting
from a customer relations standpoint, and a cost standpoint: regardless of
whether discovery/litigation is the principle motivator (in our
environment, it generally is not), it is expensive to rebuild databases
that have been deleted due to "low activity".
