Abstract

This paper reports about a research project, with the aim of showing how a record obtains its quality of evidence by representing a sufficient context of creation, management and use. This representation is obtained by using complex metadata schema. In order to argue this hypothesis, we explore the modern archival discourse, and explain the difference between the record as an object and the record as a process. We analyse several metadata models. In addition, we describe a setting where we will be able to test the possibility of applying a multidimensional metadata schema. We recommend a proposal for a second step, which will address the process of the archival description from a concentric model of knowledge, information and documents/records systems.
