Leveraging the Voyager Pipeline and Registry for Records and Information Management

The Voyager platform supports the collection of records management attributes in several few areas:

  1. Data Collection and Integration: The Voyager platform can be used to gather and integrate various types of data, particularly focusing on records management. This is accomplished through compatibility with different data sources and formats that are used in records management.

  2. Handling Records Management Attributes: Records management attributes are specific pieces of information related to the management and lifecycle of records. These attributes might include, but are not limited to, the creation date of a record, author/owner, type of record, retention period, access controls, and disposition schedule. The platform supports the capturing and management of these details.

  3. Support for Governance Policies: The platform supports the enforcement of data governance policies that pertain to records management. This includes adherence to legal and regulatory requirements for data retention, privacy, and security.

  4. Metadata Management: The ability to manage metadata effectively is crucial. Voyager helps organizations manage metadata in records management by providing context and additional information about the data, which is vital for categorization, search-ability, and compliance.

  5. Lifecycle Management: The platform supports the entire lifecycle of records, from creation to disposal. This involves not only storing pointers to authoritative data but also ensuring that its accessible and therefore maintainable throughout its lifecycle, in line with governance policies.

  6. Audit and Reporting Capabilities: The capability to track, audit, and report on the usage and changes to records is also a key element in records management facilitated by Voyager. This ensures transparency and accountability in the management of records.

  7. Compliance with Standards: Voyager aligns with relevant standards and best practices in records management, information management, and data governance, ensuring that the data handling processes meet industry and legal standards.

The entire platform works to provide a comprehensive and integrated approach to managing records within the data governance framework. This ensures that all necessary attributes of records management are efficiently collected, stored, managed, and utilized in compliance with established policies and standards.
