A organização da informação arquivística: um modelo de aferição do nível de maturidade em gestão de documentos na era digital by Luis Pereira dos Santos, Renato Tarciso Barbosa de Sousa

“…The organization of archival information in the digital age requires specific procedures; either because of the advent of digital archival records, or because the object of study has changed from sets of records to sets of organic information and archivology is witnessing new theoretical-methodological interlocutions with different disciplines that also have information as their object, such as Information Science. In the light of these developments, this research is based on the problem of analyzing how the management of digital archival documents can be measured at levels within document-producing organizations. …”
