ABSTRACT

This study aims to explore the concepts and nature of records in digital environments based on analyzing recent theoretical studies of records. This is not intended to defining records for management in a specific environment. This study is divided into two parts. Firstly, it classifies the definitions of records in three perspectives; evidence, information, and representation of activities, and explores the concepts and theoretical backgrounds underlying each definition. Secondly, it articulates some implications for understanding the concept and nature of records in digital environments by four categories such as i) fixity, ii) materiality, iii) activity and context, and iv) trustworthiness, which were derived from the definition of “persistent representation of activities” by Geoffrey Yeo.
