Forum on electronic records
29 July 1999 - 29 July 1999
The second multidisciplinary forum on electronic records will be held from 18 to 19 October 1999 in Brussels, Belgium. DLM Forum 99 is organised by the European Commission in cooperation with Member States and the regions.
The principal theme will be 'European citizens and electronic information: the memory of the Information Society'. Debate will be directed towards finding practical solutions, examining the possibility of a Europe-wide approach to machine readable data (DLM).
The forum aims to improve direct access to electronic information. In so doing it intends to contribute to the functioning of democracy by raising awareness through well-kept and accessible digital archives.
Key actors involved in the information flow and electronic records management of their departments and organisations will be asked to debate the possibilities for wider cooperation in the EU concerning management, storage, conservation and retrieval of electronic records.
There will be a series of plenary sessions and parallel working party meetings. The main topics of the plenary sessions include transparency and openness, access to public information, electronic records and partnership with industry, preservation of electronic records and Europe-wide cooperation. Three streams of working parties will address the economical and functional aspects, the political and legal aspects and the societal dimension of electronic information.
