Benefits of DISSCO• Central access to all documents• Manages workflow, controls versions, controls
access• Documents are kept according to their retention
schedule and status• Most descriptive metadata are collected
automatically for retrieval and long-term preservation• Very flexible system: metadata, user interfaces,
workflows, queries are user-definable

7
Practical Goals of DISSCO• Time: employees handle the documents/files faster,
more efficiently and more rationally; no work duplication
• Time: fast retrieval for the user• Quality: authenticity of the electronic documents is
respected (as well as other quality requirements)

Phase II of DISSCO:4 + 1 Partners
• CEGES-SOMA
• IRM-KMI
• ULB
• VUB
• BELGIAN $CIENCE POLICY

Analysis of User Requirements• CEGES-SOMA: mail management• IRM-KMI: redaction of yearly report• ULB: research projects management• VUB: management of decisions of the
Administering Board
• Who takes it all?

Conclusions of Phase I
• Warning: existing techniques are changing• Warning: human problems• Warning: DISSCO = research and application
project
• Solution: communication and collaboration

13
Software Requirements Definition
• Requirements elicitation, analysis, negotiation– Best practice in records management (ISO 15489,
MoReq,...)– Organizational analysis
• Requirements documentation– Software Requirements Document
• Requirements validation– Participation of the institutions– Approval by the institutions– Approval by the DISSCO Follow-up Committee– Testing by means of prototypes

DISSCO Solution:Core System and Prototype
A project of the multiannual information society support program financed by the Belgian Federal Science Policy Office
19
DISSCO Solution : Main Points
• Preservation and retrieval of electronic and physical documents
• Easy to use
• Archival standards compliance
• Adaptive
A project of the multiannual information society support program financed by the Belgian Federal Science Policy Office
20
Interface : General User
• Easy to use means :– View as a file system (ex. Windows
Explorer)– Integration in common desktop
applications (ex. MS Office)– Edit documents in their native format (ex.
MS Word)
A project of the multiannual information society support program financed by the Belgian Federal Science Policy Office
21
Interface : Records Manager
• Archival standards compliance (ex. MoReq) means :– Structure (classification)– Metadata (descriptive information)– Retention periods (keep documents, why?)– Closing rules (validate and preserve from
modification)

22
DISSCO Solution : Tech Overview1. Technologies :
– WebDav– Java / J2EE– Based on Jakarta Slide
2. Independent of :– Physical Storage– Data Structure– Client Interface
3. Open Architecture :– Distinct Layers– Configuration & Plug-ins– Software Interface &
Integration of External Modules/Software

Phase II – Objectives and Results
• Research - Maintain our high knowledge level (Share knowledge -> institutions).
• Development - Evolve the prototype into functional software tools(Implement software tools -> institutions).
• Motivation and Support - Continuously communicate, promote and support (Workshop, newsletter, documentation, training, support -> institutions).

Generic vs. Specific System
DISSCO provides:• User identification• Workflow engine• Access control• Version control• Repository• Standards compliance
(Moreq, ISO15489)• Export to many formats
Parameterization must define:
• users, groups and roles• workflows• rights• retention schedules• classification scheme • descriptive metadata
used• user interface

DISSCO needs ...• Collaborators:
– Development + user support group– Implementation teams– Key-user(s)
• Respect timing• Help parameterization• Fast feed back• After-project: collaborators
