The Standards Australia Records Classification Sub Committee IT-21-09 is
preparing a Handbook to guide records practitioners in developing
records classification schemes for their organisations. Whilst some Sub
Committee members are considering variations to and refinements of the
Function-Activity-Subject approach to classification, we are
investigating the full range of records classification methods currently
in use. We would therefore be interested in hearing from organisations
who do not follow the Function-Activity approach. In particular we would
like to know:
- the structure of the alternative classification model,
- the type of organisation it was used in (eg banking, resources,
transport
etc)
- its strengths, and
- its weaknesses.
 
Some examples of alternative classification models include:
- work processes
- project classification structures
- asset classification structures
- customer/ client/ case name
- software generated taxonomies
- geographic classification, eg by lot on plan, by sedimentary basin, by
permit, by part of process plant etc
- a blend of the above
 
Any feedback is greatly appreciated. Could you please respond in the
first instance to me so I can collate the responses for our group.
