Good Day,

(Apologies for the ugly formatting of the last message.  I forgot this
listserv doesn't accept HTML formatting, so I've cleaned up the message, a
bit, and retransmitted.)

I wanted to personally introduce the community to two newly published
linear Taxonomies that are intended to assist Records Management (RM)
professionals with the identification and classification of RM related
data, information, and knowledge.  They include

     A) a Taxonomy of Records Management Types
(http://www.if4it.com/SYNTHESIZED/FRAMEWORKS/TAXONOMY/records_management_ta
xonomy.html)  (or sub-types to some), and
     B) a Taxonomy of Record Types
(http://www.if4it.com/SYNTHESIZED/FRAMEWORKS/TAXONOMY/records_taxonomy.html
)

Both have been derived and created from a controlled master vocabulary
which is defined and maintained by The International Foundation for
Information Technology  (IF4IT) (http://www.if4it.com).

Examples of use for such Taxonomies include but are not limited to the
following:

     1. RM organizations can use the Taxonomies as frameworks to help
identify what types RM work need to be performed and managed as well as to
help identify the different types of records categories and artifacts that
are important to them and their enterprises.

     2. Audit and Compliance organizations can use the Taxonomies as
frameworks for understanding different Records Domains, as well as for
identifying key points of audit and artifacts within such domains.

     3. IT organizations can use the Taxonomies to help define, plan for,
structure, deliver and support IT related work that addresses the various
RM categorizations, their records types, and their correlating artifacts
for
any RM related organizations they help enable.

     4. Litigation departments can use the inventory of as a framework to
understand what, specifically, to ask for or deliver, when subpoena-ing or
being subpoena-ed by entities during legal cases

The IF4IT's goal is to supplement data, information and knowledge related
professionals, especially those in IT and those who cannot afford the
services of expensive consulting and research organizations, with
controlled vocabularies, constructs, frameworks, and learning material
that will help them be as successful as possible.  The release of these
Taxonomies is part of a series of steps by the Foundation to do so.

Please note that the IF4IT offers such material as supplemental options to
help enable professionals.  The Foundation always urges you to be well
informed by exploring all available option.  All Foundation content is
open to the public and subject to the terms of use that are listed on its
site, which state, in short, that users are free to leverage the material
for themselves and their enterprises but not profit from it in any manner.

Examples of other IF4IT publications include:

     * The largest and most comprehensive IT Glossary
(http://www.if4it.com/glossary.html) in the world
     * The largest inventory of IT Disciplines
(http://www.if4it.com/disciplines.html)
     * The ever evolving Inventory of Taxonomies
(http://www.if4it.com/taxonomy.html)
     * The Information Technology (IT) Learning Framework
(http://www.if4it.com/SYNTHESIZED/FRAMEWORKS/LEARNING/it_learning_framework
.html) (which is constantly maturing)

My Best,

Frank Guerino, Chairman
