Literary Warrant
Supporting
Functional Requirements
The Pittsburgh Project's advisory group of experts compiled the
first draft of the functional requirements for recordkeeping,
but they did not create the requirements in isolation. The
requirements derive from the law, customs, standards and
professional best practices accepted by society and codified in
the
literature of different professions concerned with records and
recordkeeping. The Project compiled a compendium of statements
drawn from authoritative sources of other professions that
describe or explain the requirements of records or recordkeeping
systems. The statements, or "literary warrant" are
organized by profession and then by functional requirement. One
can navigate from a particular profession, to statements
drawn from its literature, i.e. standards, customs, professional
sources, then to the functional requirement it supports. From
the
functional requirement, one can go to specific production rules
or
to the relevant metadata specifications.
