Objectives
BASIC SKILLS · Management of files, records and digital documents in e-administration. · Access, openness and transparency of public information. · Standards on authenticity and validation of digital documents. · Work with Electronic Discovery Reference Model (EDRM) programmes for organising and preserving digital documents. LEARNING OUTCOMES This subject focuses on training students in several technical and legal aspects of the resources to determine the tools supporting information tasks. A crucial aspect of training is that students acquire the necessary skills for implementing EDRMs. To this end, the student will be given the necessary skills to plan, analyse and manage the implementation of solutions to common scenarios within the framework of digital continuity. Students will be trained in basic skills to evaluate technological alternatives for the creation of EDRMs ensuring the access to authorised users and institutions. The student after passing the subject must: · Know and understand the objectives of information security and the threats and vulnerabilities of information systems. · Know and understand the problems of authentication and integrity of digital documents and the tools to guarantee them. · Know and apply the regulations about transparency and openness of public information. · Understand and apply the regulations related to the information management in public administration. · Select tools for the implementation of effective and efficient EDRMs. · Analyse the most relevant technological solutions in digital information management. · Apply methods, techniques and tools for implementing, developing and exploiting digital information systems and services. OTHER OBJECTIVES · Know the diversity of technologies for the management of documents and records. · Select and evaluate the appropriate technologies for the implementation of EDRMs. · Identify the technological requirements for the creation, use, recovery and storage of digital documents. · Apply flexible, effective, and measurable methods and tools for managing digital records.
