Functional Requirements and Attributes for Records Management in a Component-Based Architecture

The RMSC requirements and attributes were developed and remain within a defined scope and necessary constraints (See Appendix A RMSC Scope and Constraints):

Viewpoint: records management activities
In Scope: from record receipt, identification, capture to record disposition
Out of Scope: record creation and management of archival record

This technical report organizes use cases, functional requirements, and attributes around seven RMSCs addressing core records management activities. The number of RMSCs and their level of granularity are for clarity and communication purposes and do not specify the number ultimately necessary to meet the functional requirements. Components when developed and implemented will vary in granularity from a single software element providing a single service up to a set of cooperating services assembled to deliver a solution to a business problem.
