Hi Douglas,

not quite easy to answer you question, because I'm not able to look ahead - 
but I will try it:

MoReq2 is an evolutionary development of MoReq. Their basic structures are 
similar and they are based on the same concepts. However, there are many 
differences at a detailed level. The main differences are: 

* MoReq2 will be accompanied by a testing framework and a testing regime. 
MoReq had neither. One effect of this is that the language used in MoReq is 
more precise and rigorous—which is why MoReq2 is so much longer. 
* MoReq2 will be the subject of formal governance by the DLM Forum. MoReq 
was not. 
* MoReq2 will be accompanied by an XML schema. MoReq was not. 
* MoReq2 is modular. There is a core of basic record keeping requirements, 
and optional modules for functionality that is needed by some organisations 
but not others. 
* MoReq2 recognises the need to store electronic records not only in files 
and volumes (as in MoReq) but also sometimes in sub-files and in classes. 
* MoReq2 includes a metadata model that is much more complete than the 
model in MoReq. 

But most important will be the following one:
Compliance with MoReq2 will be of major interest to ERM software developers 
and users alike although, to date, no software has been independently 
tested for compliance. This situation will change once the testing 
framework and its governance regime have been completed. This is expected 
to be in several months’ time but no date has yet been given.
