Chris,

Content, context and structure must be present and maintained to 
ensure full and accurate records. Have a look at the functional 
requirements for evidence, in particular the principle 'complete'.

The functional requirements for evidence was a research project 
undertaken by the University of Pittsburgh School of Information 
Sciences between 1992 and 1996. A search through archive.org for 
<http://www.archives.gov/grants/>www.sis.pitt.edu/~nhprc should 
assist you to locate the research.

I think it will soon become evident how important these three things 
are along with other principles. In Australia the principles of the 
functional requirements for evidence have been driven by guidance to 
agencies from the national and state government records bodies.
