Distributed networks such as the Internet have altered the
fundamental way a record is created, captured, accessed and managed
over time. Law and ethics provide the major sources of regulatory
controls over participants in such networks.
This book analyses the interrelationship of recordkeeping,
ethics and law in terms of existing regulatory models and their
application to the Internet environment. It proposes an Internet
model based on the notion of a legal and social relationship as a
means of identifying the legal and ethical rights and obligations
of recordkeeping participants in networked transactions. Medical,
business and governmental relationships within communities of
common interest based on trust illustrate the practical application
of the model. As legal relationships have their basis in the law of
obligations found in common and civil law systems, as well as
archival science, the model has a broad-based application. The
relationship model also provides a unique ethical and legal
approach to property, access, privacy and evidence. Most
importantly, the book provides an interdisciplinary approach to
Internet regulation, which contributes to closer ties between those
who research, teach and work in fields of ethics, law and archival
science.
