Summary

 

The Georgia Archives is using a phased approach to building the system. The chart below illustrates past, current and future phases leading to full system implementation. 

 

The Georgia Archives is concluding the third phase of a planning process to develop a sustainable, economical system for preserving digital records. The system is being developed to be rules-based, policy driven, and highly responsive to the needs of all classes of users. It will enable content ingest, verification, tracking and certification of authenticity, preservation of content, and access to content. Phase three produced a series of Requirements Documents for the design of the system. The requirements will be refined in early January to provide a clear picture of the functionality within Release 1.0 of the system.

Phase four begins with the design and implementation planning stage of the project. It also includes the completion of an architectural design concept.


Phase 4: Implementation Planning


As the Archives concludes the third phase of development, it is transitioning into the fourth phase – implementation planning. Phase three resulted in the development of preliminary system requirements which will evolve into a publicly available requirements document(s). At this time, it is anticipated that the requirements document(s) will be completed and released in mid-January.


Beginning phase 4, several activities will take place:

  • Finalization of Independent Validation and Verification plans
  • Development and acceptance of a statement of work by integrator
  • Completion of implementation plan
  • Completion of design plans
  • Update project plans
  • Update cost plan
  • Development of a design validation test plan
