An important objective of the DAVID-project was to build up some experience by developing best practices for each of the selected cases. At the City Archives of Antwerp, the DAVID-findings were put into practice. This bottom-up strategy was also important to get some practical feedback on the DAVID-reports. On this webpage you find more detailed information on these best practices and our experiences concerning the digital archiving of:

the electoral register data from the population register e-mails and office documents websites

The informationsystems and the related electronic records are documented in the informationsystems inventory.

It can be used to identify and localize records, but also to keep and update contextual data. More information on the application possibilities and an example of a datamodel can be found in this DAVID article: () Electronic records under control?
