| Issues brainstorm |
- material received through variety of media (floppy disc, CD-R, memory stick) & copied by creators
- problem of identifying file types - incorrect file extensions, eg period marks in file names interpreted as file extensions after copying
- identifying creating program/applications required to open files and access content
- maintaining integrity and authenticity of records, where there are problems of file identification
- auto update features in certain types of files, eg dates in Word files, leading to creation/modification log being changed when viewing content. Impact of integrity/authenticity of records?
