[AISWorld] RecordDNA: creating a cross disciplinary research agenda

[Lomas, Elizabeth]

Apologies for cross posting


I would be most grateful for your time completing this survey link https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/PGLDNML . This work is aimed an developing a global research agenda for the digital evidence base.

Scholars and members of the public rely on records (e.g. birth/death certificates, census and court records) as the evidence base for research and life events; so too do policy-makers and those conducting inquiries. They all require access to original, authentic, usable records. However, a major issue facing society is the extent to which the digital evidence base is at risk because the concept of the digital record has been challenged. In the digital world, the record comprises the granular objects that are scattered yet linked e.g. chains of emails or tweets. Concepts commonly accepted as defining a paper record (originality, unchanging authenticity, contextualized evidence) are highly conflicted and under threat. This study is seeking to explore the nature of digital records for evidential purposes, considering how the evidence base is shifting with new technologies, and gaps that need to be addressed to ensure societal needs are met now and in the longer term. We are asking for your help to develop a research agenda by contributing to a short survey at https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/PGLDNML .
