Rights |
| Definition/ Description |
There may be requirements concerning the deposit of a collection with the organisation to ensure that preservation actions are undertaken within certain legal jurisdictions and this may limit the possible technical solutions. This could be the case with webarchiving.
The organisation needs to ensure that these requirements are part of the policy for this collection.
|
| Why |
To be able to fulfil the terms agreed upon the organisation needs to be aware of all requirements.
|
| Risks |
If the requirements are not implemented in the policy for the collection poor decisions can be made.
