This section suggests areas for the archival community to consider when thinking about the impact of a revised descriptive standard.

  • Training and education
  • Systems and software
  • Funding
  • Policy development
  • Planning
  • Research

This section does not attempt to answer the question of impact in these areas – each archivist and/or institution will have to assess the impact based on their own situation.
