| Issues brainstorm | When preserving complex electronic objects such as emails with attachments (MS Word, Excel etc) it is necessary to: 1. Identify the constituent parts of the email (the record) 2. Extract the attachments for preservation purposes 3. Harvest any required metadata from the attachments 4. Link the attachments back to the parent object 5. Ensure that the de-constructed parts retain the original data objects "recordness" |
