Managing Digital Records in a South African Public Sector Institution
Open accessAbstract
South Africa's public institutions generate public records that need to be managed in compliance with the legislative framework. However, there are challenges in managing digital records brought about by the complexity within the legal terrain as well as the disparate nature of information systems in institutions. This article provides a brief review of literature that informs the background to a South African research study conducted by the InterPARES Trust Project's Africa Team.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
