Before configuring an object store, you must select the IBM® Enterprise
Records data model that most closely
fits your records management needs.
A data model is a template for a file plan object store to be compliant
with certain records management standards. The data model can include
metadata and security features. When you create a new file plan object
store, you must select a data model. There are currently four data
models: Base, DoD, DoD Classified, PRO. The data models are contained
in add-ons that you can add to your environment. You can configure
your object stores to use the selected data models. You accomplish
these tasks when using the Configuration Manager to complete configuration
tasks. See the link at the end of this topic. The FPOS contains the
file plan structure, while the ROS contains documents, some of which
are declared as records. Typically, there would be many users with
access to the ROS who should not have access to the entities that
make up your file plan in the FPOS. You can have more than one ROS
associated with one FPOS.
IBM Enterprise
Records supports the
following data models:
- Base
- This satisfies the requirements of most corporations. Provides
core records management functionality and properties. The Base data
model is sufficient for meeting most records management requirements
and is the recommended model. However, it does not adhere to either
the DoD, DoD Classified, or PRO standards.
- Department of Defense (DoD)
- This satisfies basic Department of Defense requirements per DoD
Chapter 2. Includes the properties required by version 2 of the DoD
standard (DoD 5015.2).
- Department of Defense Classified (DoD Classified)
- This satisfies Department of Defense Chapter 4 requirements, including
classified records management. Includes the properties required by
version 2 of the DoD Classified standard (DoD 5015.2) for managing
classified records.
- Public Records Office (PRO)
- This satisfies Public Record Office (per UK standard) requirements.
Includes the properties required by the PRO 2002 standard. The PRO
data model might not be supported in subsequent releases of IBM Enterprise
Records.
