Note (Additional information about the record)
- The date for digital records in this series is the 'Last Modified' date as generated by the Electronic Document and Records Management system which held and managed these records.
-
Arrangement (Information about the filing sequence or logical order of the record)
-
These records are arranged according to the functional classification of the Welsh Government's iShare (based on Objective version 8 software) Electronic Document and Records Management System (EDRMS). Some of the records are paper records which have been referenced rather than those stored in the system as digital records.
Born digital records are generally arranged and stored differently to paper records. References for born digital records are automatically generated and display a 'Z' after a forward slash, which distinguish them from traditional references allocated to paper and digitised records.
Born digital records are arranged within deep and complex folder structures. The folder names for each record appear under the arrangement information, providing context and a provenance trail.
Descriptions for born digital are generally file names saved as they were in the original metadata. Therefore they may not be in a natural narrative form. Many records in this series display the original identifying reference from the EDRMS in brackets, as part of their file name.
