The ICA Experts Group on Archival Description (EGAD) is pleased to
announce the release for public comment the initial draft of the first
part of a two-part standard for archival description named Records in
Contexts (RiC). When completed, the standard will include a conceptual
model (RiC-CM), and a formal ontology (RiC-O). The current release of
the initial draft of RiC-CM will remain available for public comment
until 31 December 2016. A draft of RiC-O will be released for public
comment late in 2016.
RiC-CM is available here:

Comments should be sent to: [email protected]
At the ICA Congress in Seoul, Korea in September 2016, three
representatives from the EGAD will provide an overview and introduction
to RiC on Thursday, 8 September, 15:00-16:30. The session will be
available in Chinese, English, French, and Korean.
Since 2012, with members from thirteen countries, the EGAD has been
developing the new standard for the description of records based on
archival principles. In the course of its work it has taken into
consideration critiques of current practices, established and emerging
national conceptual models as well as the models of allied professional
communities, and the opportunities presented by new and emerging
communication technologies. The objective of the standard is to
reconcile, integrate, and build on the four existing standards: General
International Standard Archival Description (ISAD(G)); International
Standard Archival Authority Records—Corporate Bodies, Persons, and
Families (ISAAR(CPF)); International Standard Description of Functions
(ISDF); and International Standard Description of Institutions with
Archival Holdings (ISDIAH).
The EGAD looks forward to receiving comments on the draft RiC-CM.
