Designing ERM Ontology to Evaluate Records Management System

Organizations seek to improve their records management (RM) system to have better efficiency and to meet legislative requirements. For achieving these two goals, evaluation of RM, which is normally done manually, is a necessity for every firm. In this paper, we design and evaluate an ontology that will help in evaluating RM systems. Building the ontology will be the first step in developing an ontology-based RM evaluation system. We argue that the proposed ontology based RM evaluation system has promising features and benefits. Evaluation by using ontology will raise the efficiency of the evaluation process as well as facilitate sharing and communicating the results of evaluation.
